PeaceJam is the global sensation you don’t want to miss. From Algeria to Bolivia to Thailand, PeaceJam is the only organization in the world that connects youth with such icons as the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Rigoberta Menchu Tum to teach the budding generation that peace is the only answer to many of the world’s conflicts.
Be a part of this worldwide movement. The PeaceJam Scholars program offers:
1) A unique social justice conference that features world-famous Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. This year will feature Shirin Ebadi, a woman whose advocacy for women’s and children’s rights eventually led to exile from her home country of Iran.
2) Helps members develop leadership skills as mentors to passionate and inspirational youth all over New England who are tackling issues like sexism and bullying in their own community.
3) Places the power of community service innovation in the hands of the members by using Nobel Peace Prize laureates as examples for social change.
