Overview
The mission of the PeaceJam Foundation is to create young leaders committed to positive change in themselves, their communities and the world through the inspiration of Nobel Peace Laureates who pass on the spirit, skills, and wisdom they embody. Half of the world’s population is under the age of twenty. Most youth do not yet identify themselves as people who can generate greatness in the world and many young people are plagued with overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness that transcend racial, political, and economic boundaries. The PeaceJam Foundation was founded in 1996 in Denver, Colorado to address this need. PeaceJam provides year-long, ongoing educational programs for youth ages 5-25. The participating Nobel Peace Laureates are directly involved in developing the curriculum and the program itself. PeaceJam is the only organization in the world which has so many Nobel Peace Laureates working together long-term for a common cause – our youth. The PeaceJam Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with no political or religious affiliations.
