Apply for the Nuclear Free World Committee's Youth Peace Award!

 

 

Are you a student or do you know a student who has been involved in activities working for peace and justice to better our world?

The Nuclear-Free World Committee of the Syracuse Peace Council, formerly Peace Action of CNY, has presented awards to local peace activists for many years, but 17 years ago began recognizing young peace activists. We are looking for high school students in Onondaga County who have shown a devotion to peace, justice, and protecting the environment. The students should have engaged in activities-- through school, place of worship, or community—that demonstrate their passion to work on the underlying causes of war, violence, and injustice. We hope this recognition will help young people to become more aware of the issues of peace and justice in our communities, in our country, and in our world. Winners of the award will be recognized at a special event in the late spring and receive a small stipend to support their activism. Parents, teachers, and friends will be invited to come and hear what young activists are doing in our community.
