In the seven years since its inception, the Global Youth Peace Summit has served over 400 youth from 34 different countries, including: Pakistan, Burma, The Congo, Nigeria, Iran, Kenya, Bhutan, Nicaragua, Mexico, India, Iraq, Somalia, United States, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Israel, El Salvador, Jordan, Uganda, the Ivory Coast, Syria, Sudan, Colombia, and more.

The Summit is a place for healing. The youth who attend have experienced abuse, extreme poverty, child labor, torture, gang violence, and neglect; some have survived the atrocities of war and have literally run for their lives; many have been uprooted from their native cultures and struggle to integrate into an entirely foreign world.

While the youth of the Summit have witnessed the worst that humanity has to offer, the Summit is an opportunity for them to experience humanity at its best, at its most compassionate. For many, the Summit is the first time they have a direct experience of what it means to live in unity and peace, free from fear and violence. All of the youth who attend are given a safe space to completely be themselves, a space to heal, a space to share their stories and cultures, a space to be heard, and a space to be celebrated.

Activities and discussions at the Summit lead to increased self-esteem and provide the youth with tools for conflict-resolution, healthy communication, compassionate response, and peace-focused leadership. Activities include: team-building exercises, talking circles, environmental stewardship workshops, facilitated art projects, and cultural exchange including the sharing of music, dance, songs and prayers from around the world.

“I grew up in a world of bloodshed, fear and tears. The Summit was a place where I was honored for being a whole human being. I was embraced with a deep love… a love that I never knew existed. a love that I know if more people in the world felt for each other – we’d have no more war.”
-Evelyn, Former Abducted Child Soldier from Uganda

“The Summit for me was the place where I realized I was a gift to the world.”
-Nany, Asylee from Guatemala
