and goals of the organization.
Founded
in 1998, THE COEXISTENCE INITIATIVE is a U.S.-based international non-profit
organization that seeks to catalyze a global awareness of, and commitment to,
creating a world safe for difference.
Working with like-minded individuals and organizations worldwide, we aim
to mainstream awareness of coexistence, facilitate the exchange of information
and best practice, enhance communication and cooperation between and among
those within the field as well as those outside of it, and enshrine principles
of coexistence in policy, curricula, and institutions.
Our ideal candidate is someone who has a strong

related field such as conflict resolution, conflict prevention, peace work or
multiculturalism, and preferably as a senior manager. S/he will have proven success in fundraising
