Peace First Challenge

The Peace First Challenge is a global program that supports young people who want to create solutions to problems in their schools, neighborhoods, or communities. Participants identify an issue they care about—such as bullying, mental health, environmental justice, or inequality—and design a youth-led project to address it. Peace First provides mini-grants, digital tools, and mentorship to help you move from an idea to a real, community-impacting initiative. The program is accessible online, making it possible for students from many regions to participate.

This program is well-suited for middle and high school students who are motivated to lead, collaborate, and take action on social issues. It is especially relevant if you are interested in fields like public service, social entrepreneurship, education, or policy. Through the Challenge, you can build skills in:

• Project planning and execution
• Teamwork and communication
• Problem-solving and community engagement

Completing a Peace First project can strengthen college applications by demonstrating initiative, leadership, and sustained commitment to a cause. You will be able to show evidence of real-world impact, reflection on challenges, and the ability to work with diverse stakeholders—qualities that admissions offices often value. Interested students can learn more and apply through the Peace First website.
