The Rotary Peace Centers program has a vision of sustainable peace encompassing a network of peacebuilders and community leaders dedicated to preventing and resolving conflicts around the globe.
Through academic training, practice, and global networking opportunities, the Rotary Peace Centers program develops the capacity of peace and development professionals to become effective catalysts for peace.
Many serve as leaders in governments; NGOs; education and research institutions; peacekeeping and law enforcement agencies; and international organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank.
