Beyond Barriers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to a world devoid of extremism, radicalized organizations, hate, violence, coercive and violent ideologies, working toward these ends through our current, future, and planned programs. Unique to Beyond Barriers is the composition of ex-extremist leaders, as well as academics and professionals involved directly in its research and development.

Staffed with a team comprised of individuals who are experts in their field, Beyond Barriers encompasses a wide spectrum of needs. Our programs range in scope from thoroughly researched and developed academic deradicalization, community outreach to those affected by extremism, outreach to parents of at-risk youth, a 24-7 hotline, copious articles, podcasts and interviews with former extremists and experts in the field, direct intervention with those thinking about leaving or who have recently left, training and education, and through expanding our work one on one within communities affected. We have extensive media content and social media networks to distribute information about our programs across the globe.
Members of the Beyond Barriers staff have spoken and given lectures about preventing and countering extremism nationally and internationally, from synagogues to universities, from broadcasts on network television to international symposiums. In addition to working alongside both community and government agencies, Beyond Barriers maintains partnerships with research institutions such as Simon Wiesenthal Center, RAND Corporation, International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE), health professionals, academic research and development teams, religious and educational institutions across the United States and abroad.
