At the conference Dr. Barbara Varenhorst announced that she is making an endowment to Search Institute to establish the Varenhorst Center for Positive Relationships. The Center will focus on Research, Advocacy, Training, Networking and Products. One of the goals will be to reestablish excitement and support for Peer Helping Programs. Another will be to create a social culture in our society that builds and supports positive relationships. Dr. Peter Benson, President of Search Institute, announced that the Center will be the core of all future work done at Search.
