We remain thrilled that District 6900 is a Champion District in the Youth & Peace in Action (YPA) initiative. Fifty-seven high schools and youth clubs/organizations from across District 6900 are participating in 2021-22! Thousands of students will enroll this month in the YPA Online Peace Platform and join in the My Peacebuilder Foundations course, which results in a certification from NewGen Peacebuilders and opportunities for additional training and completion of peace projects.
Learn more about YPA through this short video, which premiered on Sept. 21 during the YPA Kick-Off event.
In addition to the opportunities provided through YPA to high school students and educators, all Rotarians in participating Districts (including D6900!) have access to a Guiding Young Peacebuilders course which links essential elements of My Peacebuilder Foundations with additional content on the fundamentals of “positive peace”; tips on developing successful peace projects; and Code of Conduct guidelines and principles for working with peace project teams.
Registration takes just a few minutes and ANY Rotarian in D6900 can register for the Guiding Young Peacebuilders course. Visit this url to register: www.tinyurl.com/GYPRotary
