The Peacemaker Corps .

The Peacemaker Corps mission is to facilitate and support peace and tolerance education among the youth of the world. The Peacemaker Corps empowers generations to come together 
and make our world a peaceful, compassionate, safe and tolerant place to live. The Peacemaker Corps concept grew out of the United Nations mission to promote peace, tolerance and conflict resolution. A collaborative effort between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Friends of the United Nations (FOTUN) and Simon Youth Foundation (SYF) launched the preliminary Peacemaker Corps trainings in fall of 1999.

History

Mission, History and Values.

The Peacemaker Corps Association (PMC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization reaching out to teach Peace and Tolerance globally. Our training will not only change the faculty, staff and students - but will extend into the homes to their families, their neighborhoods and communities as a whole. fter 18 years of experience running workshops and conferences around the United States and at the United Nations, our organization is reaching out to youths using social media and film making. To achieve our goal of bringing Peace to a large audience, our Board of Directors decided to pivot and produced a Global Film Festival where the winners are invited to the United Nations in New York City to meet other winners from all over the world. We named it Peace in the Streets Global Film Festival-PSGFF. Since the launch of our initial festival in 2014, we have been enlarging our community and exposing more youth populations around the globe to our basic premise, teaching Restorative Justice which results in reduction of violent behavior.
