Campus Compact is excited to announce a new partnership with Peace First (formerly Peace Games) for the inaugural Peace First Prize.

The Peace First Prize will showcase young people who have confronted injustice, crossed lines of difference, and had the courage and compassion to create lasting change. It is our chance to celebrate the powerful contributions of peacemakers. The Prize will recognize young people between the ages of 8-22 for their compassion, courage and ability to create collaborative change. Nominations can be made online and the application deadline is April 12, 2013.

Five prize winners will each receive a Peace First Fellowship: $50,000 over two years to further their education and peacemaking work. They will also receive training, mentoring and professional development.
