Who We Are

The Youth Federation for World Peace (YFWP) is a global alliance of young leaders and youth-related organizations dedicated to building a world of peace, a world in which everyone can live in freedom, harmony, cooperation and co-prosperity for all.

What We Do

Together with NGOs, businesses, government agencies and the United Nations, YFWP works on crucial issues to realize the dream of one global family of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally-shared values.

Young Ambassadors for Peace

The signature initiative of YFWP is the education and appointment of young leaders in every walk of life, from ages 15 to 49, to leading roles in national renewal and global conflict resolution as Young Ambassadors for Peace. These young ambassadors build professional leadership networks and collaborate on key initiatives including:

Ø Building a culture of service and character education by fulfilling the UN Millennium Development Goals. Taking action toward ending extreme poverty and addressing educational challenges, with specific focus on Africa

Ø Resolving interfaith conflict, with special focus on the Middle East, Africa and Mindanao (Philippines)

Ø Peace-building programs in Northeast Asia and other regions in conflict

The Universal Peace Federation

The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) is a global alliance of individuals and organizations dedicated to building a world of peace in which everyone can live in freedom, harmony, cooperation, and prosperity.

UPF seeks to build a broad strategic alliance among individuals, educational institutions, organizations, religions, corporations, the media, and governments, for the sake of peace. UPF advocates renewal of the United Nations, including a proposal that the UN should create an interreligious council within its structures. UPF implements its programs through a global network of Ambassadors for Peace who have formed Peace Councils on the global, regional, national, and local levels.

UPF encourages all religions to dialogue and cooperate for peace. This is based upon the recognition that human dignity derives from a universal divine source that is the basis of harmony and unification. UPF invites all nations to participate and engage in a process whereby the elements of nationalism, that create barriers to harmonious exchange and development, can be overcome.

UPF is guided by a vision of humanity as one global family under God, living in accordance with universal principles. Two core principles guide the mission and work of the UPF. The first calls for living for the sake of others, a commitment to a life of service to others. The second calls each of us to work to overcome the barriers that divide us as human beings.

UPF programs promote partnerships among governments, religions and civil society, and seek to contribute to the establishment of a global culture of peace. UPF seeks a thoroughgoing resolution of the roots of conflict and violence, and urges people to overcome conflict by serving and caring for one another. By living for the sake of others, we can knit together our divided human family through service, repentance, forgiveness, respect and cooperation.

International Youth Day 2009

Theme: SUSTAINABILITY: OUr Challenge. Our Future.

Sustainability does not only refer to maintaining environmental balance and renewal. Sustainability encapsulates three facets of life: the environment, society and the economy. We live our lives in the overlaps and intersections of these facets, and our actions and attitudes help shape them. Their changing shapes in turn affect the way we are able to live our lives. The negative effects of unsustainable behaviour are not easily contained. As has been proven by the global crises in food, the economy and the environment, the concept of the global village has gone beyond being a useful analogy to being a hard reality, making clear the need to adopt a global sense of social responsibility.

With these things in mind, as the energizers of today and the holders of tomorrow, it is imperative that youth embrace the challenge of sustainability in its fullness as they help pave the way forward through the 21st century and beyond. Youth action, inclusion, and their full participation are key to developing today’s world for the generations of today and tomorrow and central to a sustainable existence.

Background of International Youth Day

The General Assembly on 17 December 1999 in its resolution 54/120, endorsed the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth (Lisbon, 8-12 August 1998) that 12 August be declared International Youth Day.

The Assembly recommended that public information activities be organized to support the Day as a way to promote better awareness of the World Programme of Action for Youth to the Year 2000 and Beyond, adopted by the General Assembly in 1995 (resolution 50/81).
