AYLCI and IPYG Partner to Empower Youth-Led Peacebuilding in the U.S.
AYLCI, a youth leadership organization based in Georgia and a member of IPYG, partnered with IPYG to launch youth-led peace initiatives in the Atlanta area. Through projects like “Play4Peace ATL,” young people shared real-life conflict experiences, learned how to communicate with public officials, and practiced writing policy proposals for peace.
Their efforts led several cities and counties to officially support peace culture and declare local “Weekend of Peace” events. This collaboration was recognized as a new youth peace leadership model that combines peace education, civic engagement, and leadership development, showing how young people can take an active role in building peace in their communities.
