}}Ami Dar ({{lang-he|עמי דר}}; born January 7, 1961) is the Founder and Executive Director of Idealist.org. Idealist serves more than 120,000 organizations around the world and has more than 1.4 million visitors every month between the English site (idealist.org), and the Spanish site (idealistas.org).[1]

Early life

Dar was born January 7, 1961, in Jerusalem, Israel, the eldest of three children, to a school teacher mother and diplomat father. He grew up in Peru and Mexico, and it was in Mexico City where he first became aware of the contrast of wealth and poverty around him, which started him on a path of dedication to social justice.

In 1976, Dar and his family returned to Israel and from 1979 - 1982, he completed his mandatory service as a paratrooper. During this time Dar had an insight that fundamentally changed his thinking about borders and humanity and how labels define and separate people, which is often referred to as the "sock sharers story." {{Citation needed|reason=Medium is not a neutral source|date=August 2018}}

Career

In 1988 Dar joined Aladdin Knowledge Systems, a software company based in Tel Aviv. From 1988 to 1992 he served as the International Marketing Manager. In 1992 he was named President and he relocated to New York City to establish their North American branch.

Idealist.org

By 1995 he had founded an early iteration of Idealist, The Contact Center Network sponsored meeting spaces in several communities where people could connect with neighbors who might share interests and ideas for local action. In 1996 Dar began calling the online network Idealist.org.

Idealists of the World

In January of 2018 the Idealist team launched Idealists of the World which has over 23,300 members world wide.[2] The Idealists of the World participate in global Idealist Days which occur when the day and the month are the same number. The first global Idealist Day occurred on March 3rd, 2018 (3/3) with "75 events mobilizing nearly 500 people around the world, and 3000 people in the Idealists of the World Facebook group."[3] The philosophy behind Idealist Day is rooted in Ami Dar's vision of a world progressing towards positive social change. This is accomplished by people making connections online and in person, bridging divides to collaborate together for a better tomorrow.[4] Regarding this vision Dar has stated,

I can't help noticing that all over the world, behind every label and stereotype, there are people who share some basic values. And I can’t help thinking that if these people could somehow work together, the world would be a very different place. What are these values? Treating others the way we’d like to be treated is a good start. But we can go beyond that. For example, I believe that in every country and every culture there are many people who would agree with this sentence:

Working with others, in a spirit of generosity and mutual respect, I want to help build a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives.”[5]
