Ukrainian Youth Provide Hope for a Better Future
February 24, 2025 marked the third year of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the civilian population continues to face near daily-attacks. United by the desire to rebuild what has been destroyed, young people in Ukraine are providing hope for a better future.
Our partner organization in Ukraine, Novi, continues empowering more young changemakers.
Love, Peace, and Joy this Holiday Season 🎁
Our program accelerates impact by mobilizing young peacebuilders and supports organizations, denominations, networks, and government bodies in designing and implementing child and youth changemaking programs.

Why is YP Director Dr. Michael McGill in Moldova ?
Dr. Michael McGill is headed to Moldova to meet with different organizations that are responding to the crisis in Ukraine, and already working with young people , so that he can share the young peacebuilders model and tools that are available to support them and work together toward waging peace.
URGENT: Responding to the Crisis in Ukraine
The violent attack on Ukraine continues to shock the world as we see the horrid stream of images produced by war. Each moment of destruction does not end when the smoke clears. For decades and even generations, the scars of war will remain on the souls of the living, in the reactions that are so often the fruit of trauma, in grief, depression, in stressed harsh words to one’s children and neighbours.
Happy Holidays
The Young Peacebuilders team wishes you and yours a safe and happy holiday season! Thank you for your support in 2021 as we launched our new online platform supporting Young Peacebuilders Clubs (YPC) from USA to Uganda. We look forward to waging peace together in 2022.
This Giving Tuesday please consider sponsoring a Young Peacebuilders Club (YPC). Your gift helps equip young people to wage peace and transform communities. We are thrilled to share that our new YPC Membership Tools and Support packages, and our website are launching in the coming hours.
To recover from the devastation of the pandemic, we must offer grace, and build our skill at making peace with one another. Watch our new video to learn more about the 2021 Peace Day theme, Recovering Better for an Equitable and Sustainable World, and how we are working to support our Young Peacebuilders Clubs and partner organizations.
