NY PEACE WEEK
Why Peace Week?
Homicide is the leading cause of death among NYC youth. One in ten NYC teens report not going to school because of feeling unsafe at school or on their way to school. Many NYC youth are measuring their lives in 2 – 5 year cycles, not believing that they will survive beyond the next 5 years. Proceeds from funds raised during NY Peace week will go toward summer programs and activities for NYC youth, to provide positive alternatives to youth violence and other forms of negative behavior.
OUR MISSION IS TO:
- Promote the value of LIFE
- Develop teens and adults into peer leaders, to avoid becoming perpetrators or victims of violence
- Provide young people with the tools and resources that promote critical thinking, self-empowerment and personal accountability
- Build partnerships between public and private sectors to respond collectively, collaboratively and holistically to the issue of youth violence
- Create a model for reducing violence that will provide stakeholders with the necessary skills and resources to effectively implement positive change within their own communities
7 Days.
January 15 – 22, 2012 marks the 3rd annual NY Peace Week, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy of non-violence. Organized by LIFE Camp, Inc., the collective goal is to create a culture of peace throughout NYC for 7 days by hosting an event, performing an activity or simply taking one personal action toward creating inner peace and setting a positive example for youth.
2012 NY Peace Week’s theme and messaging is: #PeaceIsALIFEStyle. Youth and celebrity ambassadors will blog, tweet and post user generated content for 7 days, sharing experiences that reinforce this year’s theme and messaging.

1.5 Million NYC Teens & Young Adults
NY Peace Week targets 18 -25 year old tech-savvy, socially active teens, college students and young adults throughout the NY Tri-State Area who are influenced by pop culture and multi-media. Via events and digital platforms, NY Peace Week will also encourage peer leadership and role modeling among this demo, for youth under age 18 who are looking to them for examples.
