Students, you can use this Starter Kit to set your own goals and identify ways to directly engage on issues that matter to you.

Think about adding your group to a growing number of Peace Clubs across the country—including high schoolers in Texas working on refugee issues, middle school students in Illinois fundraising for Haitian schools and university students in Virginia educating and mobilizing on campus! Below are just a few examples of groups inspired by USIP resources.

If you are interested in having your club featured, let us know!
