that makes the network legible across cities.

Coordination Method

The Cross-Neighborhood Method

Organizations inside a chapter share information, coordinate, and run referrals

across neighborhood lines — so a person is served regardless of which door they

reach first.

reach first.

Warm Handoffs

Person-to-person introductions across neighborhoods — never a dropped referral. The coordinator stays with the person through the transfer.

Neighborhood Influencers

Trusted figures trained to extend reach and surface needs early — before a moment becomes a crisis. The connective tissue of the chapter.

Living Service Map

A live inventory of partner organizations, services, and capacity inside the chapter. The directory that makes coordination possible and visible to funders.

Clarity

What Build Peace is — and is not

Build Peace is…

A service framework. A common language. A set of standards that makes CVI work legible, coordinated, and funder-ready across chapters.

Build Peace is not…

A program. A curriculum. A replacement for the organizations already doing the work. It is the structure that connects them and makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
