Action Initiative is offered free of charge to any high school or youth organization within Rotary District 6930. It provides peace and conflict resolution curriculum. My Peacebuilder Foundations is the core online course and interactive content which includes an introductory content and six modules with estimated course completion time of 15-20 hours.

Those completing the course achieve an understanding of fundamental drivers of conflict and peace, the ability to imagine innovative approaches to change, and skills to frame an issue problem statement and create a peace project idea.

Participation in this course also provides students

with access to Case Studies, Challenges and a Community that support the goal of listening to and amplifying youth perspectives on how to build peace. Completion achieves a NewGen Peacebuilders certificate.

The capstone of the program is the development of a peace-focused service project. From January through May 2022, small teams of student leaders will pair with a club advisor or mentor (community sponsor/Rotarian) who has completed Guiding Young Peacebuilders.

Together, they can develop and implement ideas generated through My Peacebuilder Foundations. In an accelerator style virtual/inperson summit, teams and mentors receive facilitated instruction and guidance that results in a peace project plan and implementation over 8-10 weeks.
