Our Mission
On PeaceJam’s 10 year anniversary, 10 Nobel Peace Laureates and 3000 PeaceJam youth from over 40 countries joined together at an unprecedented and immensely powerful event to plan and implement a global call to action.
10 Issue Areas were identified as the most important of our time to ensure more peace in the world, and a goal was set - engage everyday citizens worldwide to join together to create and inspire 1 Billion Acts of Peace by 2021, and in the process truly change the world collectively.
The Big Idea
Founders Dawn Engle and Ivan Suvanjieff
The Impact
- Youth in every generation force change. With the help of our Nobel Laureates and you, we can all be unstoppable.
- The One Billion Acts of Peace campaign launched in partnership with Google in May 2014 to provide a platform and tools for each of us to be able to create incremental and impactful change in our own backyards.
- We all have the power to be a changemaker and leader, and if we come together more intentionally, we can move the needle on some very important issues that will benefit us all.
“We’re convinced that average, ordinary people can tackle the toughest issues facing humanity.”
-Dawn Engle and Ivan Suvanjieff
