Youth & Peace In Action

Help Spread the Word

We need your help in spreading the word about Youth & Peace in Action!

YPA is open to all youth service organizations—like NCL, Boys & Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts, YMCA, church youth groups, home school student organizations. If you have contacts in any of these areas, please see me and let’s include them on the peace train. More information is available at youthpeaceaction.org if you are interested!

Zone 33/34 launched Youth & Peace in Action the largest local peace initiative in Rotary’s history. YPA will provide virtual training to high school students leading to peacebuilder certification, project management training to student leaders and guidance for peace projects chosen by the students using what they learned in the virtual training. We will be providing professional development focused on adding peacebuilding to existing curriculum to teachers in January. All the heavy lifting will be done by NewGen Peacebuilders and Outward Bound Peacebuilders. Rotarians will have the opportunity to take the virtual training and become peacebuilder certified.

District Governor Mary Ligon jumped on the Peace Train and D6900 is leading the way with 27 of the 92 schools registered so far. Roswell Rotary has registered 8 schools and will help start 4 new Interact Clubs this Fall! Thanks to Becky Nelson, Michael Schoppenhorst, Jimmy Moore, Karen Schwank, Debbie Cwalina, Allison Judy, SaraBeth Huntley, Jacque Digesio and Vivian Bankston for stepping up early to help!

There is a special briefing being held this Thursday at 11:00 or 7:00 ET and you are invited to register and participate. Contact Becky Stone at mailto:rebecca.stone@stonepc.netrebecca.stone@stonepc.net for the link.
