Youth and Peace in Action: What About the Future?

Come Find Out: May 14 in a Virtual YOUnited Celebration!


In April 2021, Rotary Zones 33 & 34 announced the launch of Youth & Peace in Action (YPA), the largest local peacebuilding initiative in Rotary International History. Rotarians in D6860 (Alabama) and D6670 (Ohio) joined in. Supported by YPA implementing partner NewGen PeacebuildersSM, more than 300 high schools signed up for the 2021-22 journey that introduced the YPA My Peacebuilder Foundations online course and Leading Peace Project Teams experience.

More than 7,000 students (including Interactors), teachers, and Rotarians will have completed 45,000 hours of peace learning and project design in this first year. In January, YPA was recognized within an award for excellence in US conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
