Who we are
We are a group of young people ages 14-24 from diverse faiths, cultures, and ethnicities. With the help of the Interfaith Association of Central Ohio (IACO), a non-profit charitable organization, Peace-Builders was formed in 2017.
We believe that age is not a barrier to contributing to a better tomorrow. We can all make important contributions in dealing with societal issues such as racial and cultural hatred, gender inequality, and religious intolerance.
Uniting Us!
Thanks to everyone who came out to support interfaith cooperation at the 2019 Interfaith March for Peace & Justice
how we work
Active Engagement
Peace-Builders encourages other young people to become actively engaged in cross-cultural and interfaith events. With positive interaction and learning, people from different backgrounds can build relationships and trust. We do this by:
-
Organizing workshops and events that focus on interfaith and cross-cultural interaction and discussion
-
Engaging in social justice and community service activities
-
Participating in peaceful marches and rallies, and recruiting others to be involved
-
Planning and leading other activities that further our goals.
Partnering with Existing Organizations
Peace-Builders collaborates with existing organizations who further the mission of building bridges between racial, cultural, ethnic, and religious groups. We provide youth leadership and presence to such events.
