Peace First

Peace First is a global nonprofit organization that exists to support young people ages 16-30 Peace First is a global incubator for youth led social change.

We believe every young person - no matter where they come from - should be able to access the resources to make social change, so our programs are free and open to all young people between the ages of 16 and 30. By providing guidance for projects, accelerator grants and regular support to young people who otherwise might not be able to access them, we expand the circle of youth changing the world.
