About Us
Our work is dedicated to supporting young people to reach their full potential, and to promoting peace.
We believe that for any young person to thrive they need access to opportunities, support, and a safe environment. In the communities where we work, young people often lack access to these basic rights and this can act as a barrier to their development. High levels of violence in these communities disproportionately affect young people and further exacerbates this problem.
Recognising young people as agents-of-change, we work to address these challenges via three strategic focuses:
We work directly with young people at our Academy, developing their potential through integrated programmes of support and inclusion using our Five Pillars model
Via our Alliance, we exchange skills, knowledge and support with community-based partners around the world to strengthen youth-focused programmes
We bring together diverse partners, services and organisations collaborating on a collective impact methodology to prevent violence and support young people in focus communities
YOUTH-LED AND VALUES BASED
We are youth-led. This means that young people play a central role in defining our approach, in influencing organisational decision making and strategic direction.
Our approach is driven by five values that guide and underpin all areas of our work.
01
EMBRACING
We believe in a society without exclusion. Everybody is welcome at Fight for Peace.
02
SOLIDARITY
We work together in unity across our staff, young people and our community.
