Whether you are an individual, organization, or partner, there is a place for you in this movement. Together, we can expand the reach of peace, strengthen communities, and create lasting impact across the Great Lakes region and beyond.
URI-GL has both group and individual memberships. Group membership is composed of coalitions of people commonly known as Cooperation Circles (CCs). These CCs comprise of people from different religious backgrounds, spiritual expressions and indigenous traditions who uphold the virtue of nonviolence, the respect for lives and the need for peace in their communities.
Cooperation Circles range in size from a minimum of seven members to tens of thousands, representing at least three faiths or spiritual expressions and indigenous traditions that subscribe to the shared vision outlined in the URI’s Charter. Some of these are fully fledged organizations and associations attending to different needs within the communities they serve.
On the other hand, individual membership has individuals that support and uphold the values of URI as expressed in the preamble, purpose and principles of URI.
These offer expertise, project cooperation, interfaith excellence, wisdom and other contributions but may not necessarily be active in a Cooperation Circles.
