From their website: "Too
often,young people in our country are dismissed and overlooked. They are
either portrayed as trouble-makers, technology-addicts, or just plain
careless.
Peace First exists to change all that.
Imagine a group of
incredible young people, each honored publicly for their role in
transforming their communities into more peaceful and just places.
Imagine sharing their inspiring stories with the public. Imagine
distinguished Americans from the arts, politics, sports and business
communities championing young people as the real celebrities of our
culture.
Imagine adults seeing the power of young people as positive
influences and problem-solvers.
You have now envisioned how the Peace
First Prize will ignite and recognize youth peacemaking.
Follow the link to find out more about this and to apply or nominate someone.
