Peter is part of a group of volunteers in Cincinnati called A Small Group , which is committed to the creation of a restorative and reconciled community. Its strategy is to discover ways to engage the disengaged through working with existing associations and through direct invitation. Its work focuses on direct efforts to bring into conversation those groups of people who are not in relationship with each other. They do this by offering powerful tools and strategies of civic possibility, civic accountability, and civic commitment thus increasing the power of associations to engage citizens in their efforts. The group meets once a month and is open to anyone interested in participating.

Civic Engagement and the Restoration of Community: Changing the Nature of the Conversation, a workshop series based on Peter’s work, is conducted in Cincinnati several times a year. For the schedule, see A Small Group.
