Peace First
We support young people around the world to lead social change in their communities.
At Peace First, we trust young people as experts on the issues facing their communities. We believe in their power to create impactful solutions to injustice and we provide them with the training, mentors and funding to turn their ideas into action.
We believe every young person no matter where they come from should be able to access the resources to make social change, so our programs are free and open to all young people between the ages of 13 and 25. By providing grants and support to young people who otherwise might not be able to access them, we expand the circle of youth changing the world.
We believe young people can create a just and peaceful world. Not someday in the future – right now.
