2006 Adult Peacemakers

The Tenth Annual Ambassador of Peace Award Dinner honored Dawn Engle and Ivan Suvanjieff, Co-founders of PEACEJAM

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.

Since its launch in 1996, more than 500,000 youth have participated in the PeaceJam program. Over 300,000 service projects have been created and implemented by participating youth, and over 120 PeaceJam youth events have taken place in 10 different countries throughout the world.
