PeaceJam education programs are based on the lives and work of leading Nobel Peace Prize winners who share their spirit, skills and wisdom with youth around the world.

PEACEJAM AMBASSADORS (Grades 9-12):  PeaceJam Ambassadors gives high school age youth a platform to explore complex issues facing youth today, including violence, oppression, social justice and what it takes to be a leader and peacemaker. As part of the curriculum, each year youth learn about the life and work of one of the PeaceJam Nobel Laureates, and the strategies they use to address pressing global issues.  They develop their own service projects that address the Global Call to Action, becoming creative leaders who are committed to solving the most difficult problems facing their communities and our world. The program also includes the annual PeaceJam Northeast Youth Conference, where youth spend a weekend with the Nobel Laureate they have been studying, giving them an unprecedented opportunity to share with, learn from, and be inspired by a world leader for peace.

PEACEJAM LEADERS (Grades 6-8): PeaceJam Leaders explores the adolescent stories of the PeaceJam Nobel Laureates, and the strategies they used to overcome problems in their lives and communities. Through this age-appropriate, standards-based curriculum, young people explore their own identities and examine the choices that they make, including their role models and the peer groups to which they belong. They develop leadership and problem-solving skills by engaging in service-learning activities that address local needs.
