Nobel Peace Prize Winners Mentoring Youth to Change the World
About us
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.

🎉 Exciting News from Our Community! 🎉 Many of you have been on this journey with us since 2017, watching Harsh’s commitment to innovation unfold. Today, we’re thrilled to share that Harsh and his team have taken a giant leap forward with the EagleA7 drone technology! 🚀 This groundbreaking AI-powered drone is designed to detect, map, and neutralize landmines and explosives, offering a safer tomorrow for communities impacted by conflict.

But they need our help to get there. 🌍✨ This project is more than just technological innovation; it’s about bringing communities together to save lives and restore peace.

Lauren, Director of Global Programs, embarked on an insightful journey to Potenza, Italy, exploring the impactful legacy of Nobel Laureate Betty Williams at the City of Peace 🕊️. Founded in 2009 by Betty and now led by fellow Laureate Jody Williams, the foundation is a beacon of hope, fostering refugee integration in Italy's Basilicata region ❤️. During her visit, Lauren spent time with the Executive Director, Valerio Giambersio, and met with Iraqi and Tunisian refugee families, gaining firsthand insights into their inspiring stories 🌍. She also collaborated with partner organizations dedicated to supporting refugees, including facilities for unaccompanied children 👶. A visit to ScamBio Lógico, an organic and fair trade shop innovatively set in a renovated train station and maintained by refugees, highlighted the community’s resilience 🌱. The visit culminated in an event at Moon recycled art space, marking the countdown to International Refugee Day 📅. This event showcased creative partnerships with local artists, featuring a poignant photo exhibit by Afghan refugee Mustafa Kia and the short film "P Come Pace," capturing the refugee experience in Potenza 🎥. 📸 Swipe to see Lauren with the brave families, the supportive community partners, and the vibrant spaces turning Potenza into a sanctuary of peace and creativity. #CityOfPeace #RefugeeIntegration #GlobalHumanity #ArtForChange #PeaceJam
