Writing for Peace Mission Statement

Through creative writing, Writing for Peace seeks to cultivate the empathy that allows minds to open to new cultural views, to value the differences as well as the hopes and dreams that unite all of humanity, to develop a spirit of leadership and peaceful activism.

Writing for Peace Vision Statement

In the next five years, Writing for Peace looks toward establishing clubs in schools throughout the world, an online journal and print anthology, and an annual Rocky Mountain Writing for Peace Workshop that brings together young writers, authors, and peace activists from around the world. We hope to provide substantial scholarships for young writers to further develop their craft and experience new cultures, and develop a mentoring program that will bring those writers back to work with emerging young writers.
