PeaceJam Juniors - Suggested Ages 5-11
The PeaceJam Juniors Program is a
standards-based curriculum for ages 5-11 that explores
the childhood stories of 12 Nobel Peace Laureates and
the character traits they embody. Students study the
personal experiences of these amazing world leaders
and then engage in service-learning projects that
address needs in their local community. As a result,
students gain academic and social skills including
leadership, conflict resolution, problem solving and
character development.
Peace Jam Leaders - Suggested Ages 11-14
The PeaceJam Leaders Program is a
new standards-based curriculum for young people between
the ages of 11 and 14. It explores the adolescent stories
of 12 Nobel Peace Laureates and the strategies they
used to overcome problems in their lives and their
communities. Through this age-appropriate curriculum,
youth explore their own identities and re-examine the
choices they make, including their role models and peer
groups to which they belong. Youth also develop leadership
and problem-solving skills while engaging in service-learning
activities that address local needs.
PeaceJam Ambassadors - Suggested Ages 14-19
The PeaceJam Ambassadors Program is designed
for youth ages 14-19 and explores issues related to peace,
violence, social justice and oppression. Youth study the
lives and work of 12 Nobel Peace Laureates nad the strategies
they use to address pressing global issues. Participating
youth create and implement their own Global Call to Action
Projects, becoming creative leaders who are committed to
solving the most difficult problems facing our world. The
program also includes an annual PeaceJam Youth Conference
where youth spend a weekend with a Nobel Peace Laureate,
giving them an unprecedented opportunity to share with,
learn from, and be inspired by a world leader for peace.
PeaceJam Juvenile Justice Curriculum
The PeaceJam Juvenile Justice Curriculum is designed
for incarcerated youth and youth recently released from the
juvenile justice system. This curriculum addresses issues of
gangs, drugs and alcohol, domestic violence, property theft
and other risky behaviors. Participants develop skills in the
areas of civic responsibility, reconciliation and leadership
while being challenged to rewrite their life stories,
reevaluate their role models and learn the power of peace.
PeaceJam Scholars - College Age Youth
The PeaceJam Scholars Program is a college level
program where college students serve as mentors for participants
at PeaceJam Youth Conferences, support local PeaceJam groups, and
study international issues connected to the work of the Nobel
Peace Laureates with opportunities to engage in service and
research that extends that work into the community.
