Peace-ing Communities Together:


A Gathering for Emerging Leaders and Peace Builders


 

In the midst of major world challenges, something profound is being reborn-a
recognition that ordinary people with concern, vision, and commitment can
make significant contributions to changing the world.  And young people are
at the forefront of this shift.

 

Hostelling International USA is seeking a group of passionate, creative, and
dedicated young adults from the Boston area to help plan the first annual
Hostelling International USA Peace Building Conference in Boston. This
conference will be built off the model created by HI-San Diego in 2008-2009.

 

This event will bring together a diverse community of young adults who share
a passion for creating positive change and a more peaceful world.  Through
interactive conversations and workshops, participants will discover their
personal strengths, develop leadership skills, inspire others, learn about
resources, and create an action plan for the future.  

 

The Planning Committee is responsible for choosing a theme for the
conference, arranging keynote speakers, developing content, establishing
partnerships with local universities, and organizing logistics.

citizen, do not miss out on this amazing opportunity to join our Planning
Committee!
