Who Can Become a Peacebuilder?

To participate in the Peacebuilders Initiative you must meet the following criteria:

• Attend or be a member one of our Partner Institutions.

• Current Sophomores and Juniors in High School (2009-2010 school year).

• Member of Roman Catholic faith community.

Those are the basics, but what we're also looking for are people who are able to manage time effectively, are open to new and diverse experiences, and are mature, adaptable, committed, responsible, and enthusiastic team players.
