The mission of the PeaceJam Foundation is to create a new generation of young leaders committed to positive change in themselves, their communities and the world through the inspiration of Nobel Peace Laureates.

PeaceJam operates internationally through affiliation with other organizations that serve as regional affiliates representing a particular geographic area.

Not all countries or regions of the United States are served by a regional or international affiliate.

PeaceJam has increasingly offered a wider and deeper menu of programming serving various constituencies. The first PeaceJam program, now called PeaceJam Ambassadors, is the most widely-implemented.
