Mission 

The mission of the Young Leaders International Peace Council is to enable young people to play a more active role in transforming conflict, in healing and reconciliation, and in addressing the causes that lead to violence. Its activities include bringing together young people in conflict and post-conflict regions to begin dialogue, learn nonviolent communications and open the way to healing.  It also includes advocacy to bring to light issues such as the use of child soldiers and the illegal weapons trade.  The Peace Council  engages young people in awareness raising and skills training that build local support for nonviolence and that endorse the values of respect for diversity and an understanding of shared human values.
