Who We Are
Convergence is the leading organization bridging divides to solve critical issues through collaborative problem-solving across ideological, political, and cultural lines. Since 2009, Convergence has brought together leaders, doers, and experts — many who never thought they could talk to one another — to build trusting relationships, identify breakthrough solutions, and form unlikely alliances for constructive change on seemingly intractable issues. Our process is improving the lives of Americans and strengthening democracy for a more resilient and collaborative future.
What We Do
Convergence uses an evidence-based methodology to bring leaders together to solve tough problems without compromising principles or values.
We engage an extraordinary network of unlikely allies — business leaders, policy advocates, community practitioners, elected officials, think-tank experts, academics, and community leaders — to create change at the local, state, and national levels.
Our focus is on issues that are stuck in a contentious cycle. Our track record includes spurring consensus and action on some of the most divisive issues of our time including family policy, K-12 education, health care, economic mobility, prisons, and more.
