Recognizing that questions about peace, justice, freedom, and security are vital to civic education, the United States Institute of Peace established the National Peace Essay Contest to expand educational opportunities for young Americans.

The Essay Contest promotes serious discussion among high school students, teachers, and practitioners about international peace and conflict resolution today and in the future; complements existing curricula and other scholastic activities; and strengthens students’ research, writing, and reasoning skills. The Academy’s books, reports, and other supporting materials help prepare high school and college students for the challenges of the future.
