Peace & Justice Conversations: Youth Building Peace Internationally
May 22, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
Our guest for this program will be Jessica, a graduate of the Friends Forever International (FFI) 2014 Northern Ireland Program. Once she returned home after her program, Jessica engaged in volunteer work and giving back to her community through the Scotch Street Youth Club. Since her first-year program, Jessica has remained involved with FFI’s work. In April 2018, she participated in the first-ever FFI Alumni-Training Program which took place in New Orleans. Since returning home from this program, Jessica has continued to work alongside other alumni of our Northern Ireland program to build the FFI alumni movement in Europe. In 2020, Jessica graduated from Dundee University as a nurse and has been working as an Oncology nurse for 3 years in Scotland. She has taken a career break to volunteer with FFI for a year, helping with program development and delivery.
Friends Forever International is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Durham, New Hampshire that believes we can build a better world by empowering our most underutilized asset: youth. FFI works with communities around the globe to build the leadership abilities of their youth from diverse backgrounds to tackle local and global issues.
About NHPA’s bi-weekly Zoom Peace & Justice Conversation Series: 2020’s upheavals brought us to a new moment of reckoning and possibility. How do we want to live in the world? What do we value? How can we make the changes we’ve been yearning for? NH Peace Action has been engaged in working for change for decades. We’d like to bring you into these conversations about issues and options for the future. There is no charge to attend, but your contributions in any amount are greatly appreciated.
