Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Our extracurricular program will develop service clubs that will then become the basis for a volunteer and peace movement. The model will be applied to all schools in the 10th district and eventually nationwide, impacting on a national scale.
Project Message
At the center of our project is a peace curriculum to empower youth to address civil unrest. The library will serve as a community center for training peace volunteers that will expand regionally.
