Impact

More than 1.25 million young people worldwide have participated in PeaceJam programmes.

330 Youth Conferences have been held worldwide, connecting young people with Nobel Peace Laureates

Nearly 2.5 million community service projects have been developed by PeaceJam participants.

PeaceJam has created thousands of new leadership and volunteer opportunities for children, teenagers and young adults.

Young people involved in the programme spend on average over 40 hours working on peace-related learning and social action with an adult leader (this can include teachers, mentors, community leaders, and PeaceJam staff).

Evaluations have shown that young people who participate in PeaceJam programmes show a measurable improvement in academic skills and knowledge. They also become more engaged in school and community.

Incidents of violence have decreased in schools and community-based organisations where PeaceJam programmes have been implemented.
