about the prize

our ambassadors

Are you a young person who's taken action to make your school or community more peaceful?

Do you know a young person who's taken personal risks to stand up for their beliefs? Who's rallied others to make a difference?

The Peace First Prize is your chance to celebrate the powerful contributions of peacemakers. The Prize will recognize young people between the ages of 8-22 for their compassion, courage and ability to create collaborative change. Through a two-year $50,000 Peace First Fellowship we will invest in their leadership as peacemakers and share their stories with the nation.
