Indianapolis Peace Institute

In 2002, the Plowshares Collaborative was founded by Earlham, Goshen and Manchester Colleges and funded by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Out of this collaboration, the Indianapolis Peace Institute (formerly Indianapolis Peace House) was born.

The Institute launched its first off-campus study program in 2004. This program provides students from around the United States with an opportunity to participate in rigorous academics. Students also engage in practical peacebuilding, linking these efforts to their chosen major(s) or career interests. The Institute also works to build peace in Indianapolis through our partnerships with other community-based organizations, government entities and businesses.

Indianapolis Peace Institute's Mission
To provide dynamic academic and field experiences for students, across various disciplines
To teach conflict transformation skills
To develop leadership skills
To be an educational partner with other peacebuilding initiatives in our community
To engage questions of values, faith, beliefs, and ethical practice in peacebuilding

Internships and the Indianapolis Peace Institute
Internships are a vital part of the Institute’s summer and semester programs, providing interns with an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom, creating, testing and improving upon their own approach to peacebuilding. Internships are tailored to each individual's discipline, passions, and goals.
