Today is International Youth Day and what better way to celebrate and support young people than by supporting World BEYOND War’s Peace Education and Action for Impact Project in collaboration with Rotary Action Group for Peace which kicks-off next month. By helping to bring together cohorts of young people from 13 countries across four continents, you will directly support the development of a global youth peace movement that helps ensure a long-term sustainable and just world based in peace.
Now the largest and fastest-growing demographic on the planet, young people are vital to accelerating progress towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and related global objectives around "Youth, Peace, and Security" and "Sustaining Peace". With a sponsorship contribution towards the $200 fee per participant, you can be part of the inception of this first-of-its-kind pilot project that involves 13 partner countries—all while supporting and celebrating International Youth Day.
Any financial contribution made today will have an impact for years to come.
I know I don’t need to convince you of the importance of youth in our movement to end war and build sustainable peace. But what better way to hear why your help is needed than from those on the ground around the world?

If you make a contribution in support of the project today and make it a recurring donation, a generous WBW donor will donate an additional $250 to WBW.
Thank you for supporting the future of global peacebuilding!
