Sandy Grotberg\u2019s work as an educator, trainer, and facilitator in the fields of Conflict Resolution and Diversity Education springs from her Quaker call to \u201canswer that of God in every one,\u201d MLK\u2019s call to build the \u201cbeloved community,\u201d and her lifelong commitment to \u201ckeep learning\u2026 and un-learning.\u201d Recently she helped co-found the local (Chambersburg) group Community Uniting!, which seeks to build bridges across differences in our community, emphasizing Kindness and Gratitude, and she has been active in the Franklin County PA Racial Reconciliation group for the past two years.<\/p>\n
