Welcome to NCBI

The National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) is an international non-profit organization. We are dedicated to ending the mistreatment of all groups.

NCBI aims to develop a new kind of leader: one, who initiates diversity programs, takes principled stands, can enter the emotional heat of groups in conflict and build bridges, and models being an ally for all groups.

NCBI trains leaders in the skills of prejudice reduction, resolution of conflicts between groups, and coalition building.

NCBI @ SHU is Committed to:

• A Caring, unified and diverse community

• Building connections

• Eliminating prejudice and oppression

NCBI’s Ideas:

• Politeness, guilt, and lack of knowledge keep us from really getting to know people who are different from ourselves.

• Welcoming diversity requires taking risks and being willing to make mistakes and accept others’ mistakes.

• Listening to other people’s stories can change hearts, attitudes, and behaviors.

• We're empowered when we learn to respond to oppressive jokes, comments & slurs in ways that shift attitudes.

• Discrimination is serious but getting rid of it doesn’t have to be.

• Institutional change requires teams.

• Every Person and Every Issue Counts!
