Campus Compact is happy to announce a new initiative that will help
highlight positive work being done by America's youth through a new
partnership with Peace First (formerly Peace Games) for the inaugural Peace
First Prize. 

 

The Peace First Prize will showcase young people who have confronted
injustice, crossed lines of difference, and had the courage and compassion
to create lasting change. It is our chance to celebrate the powerful
contributions of peacemakers. The Prize will recognize young people between
the ages of 8 to 22 for their compassion, courage and ability to create
collaborative change. Nominations can be made online. The application
deadline is April 12, 2013.

 

Five prize winners will each receive a Peace First Fellowship: $50,000 over
two years to further their education and peacemaking work. They will also
receive training, mentoring and professional development. The prize has
secured many celebrity ambassadors, including cast members of Modern Family
and Parks and Recreation, to promote the award through PSAs. Campus
Compact's Executive Director, Maureen Curley, and Board of Directors Chair,
Chancellor Jim Dworkin of Purdue University North Central, serve on the
Prize Screening Committee. Campus Compact is the only higher education
partner for the Peace First Prize, joining organizations such as City Year,
Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Clubs, and 4-H, in partnering with
Peace First on this initiative.

 

Please share this announcement with appropriate persons, offices, and
organizations on your campus. To find more about the Peace First Prize,
