PeaceJam Celebrates Spirit Week

PeaceJam, the parent organization of Billion Acts, has officially kicked off another academic year of Nobel-guided, youth-led and community engaged programming! The PeaceJam Foundation is a global leader in developing engaged, informed and compassionate young leaders through the mentorship of 14 Nobel Peace Prize winners.  This year, our global community celebrated the launch with virtual events, trainings, and demonstrations of PeaceJam pride around the globe!

PeaceJam youth came together worldwide to celebrate with events like the PeaceJam Virtual Pep Rally, and the PeaceJam Club Leadership retreat. Many shared their PeaceJam pride and excitement for the new year through social media. PeaceJammers flaunted their PeaceJam swag with pride, posting pictures on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
