Building Peaceful, Inclusive and Sustainable Communities
Global Youth Peace Committee is a youth-focused, non-profit organisation working to build peaceful, inclusive and sustainable communities by creating opportunities for young people and communities to learn, lead, participate and contribute.
Founded in 2019, GYPC brings together young people, volunteers, educators, community leaders, institutions and partners to translate ideas into meaningful action.
Our work connects peacebuilding, youth leadership, education, women empowerment, environmental sustainability, community development and policy dialogue.
“We believe that young people are not only beneficiaries of development—they are partners, leaders and changemakers in shaping a more peaceful, inclusive and sustainable future.”
