Acts of Kindness
Taking Action.
Everyday People Taking Action.
PeaceJammers work together to create a Global Call to Action service learning project to make their community and the world more peaceful, equitable, and compassionate.
These projects fall within 10 “Focus Areas”, which have been identified by the 14 Nobel Laureates involved with PeaceJam.
Each year, our Great Lakes PeaceJam youth build and implement astounding projects to benefit others on a local and even global scale. To learn what other PeaceJammers and fellow change-makers are doing, hop over to billionacts.org.
