Kids4Peace began in Jerusalem during the Second Intifada in 2002. Its mission is to transform divided societies into communities of lasting peace, through a long-term investment in youth leaders and their families. Kids4Peace brings Jewish, Christian, and Muslim girls and boys to international summer camps in the United States and operates year-round after-school programs in their home communities; the year-round program in Seattle focuses on local issues of social justice, such as hunger, homelessness, and racism. The six-year continuum of activities focuses on interfaith dialogue, cultural exchange, leadership development, and practices of nonviolent social change.
