Peace Boat US works to build a culture of peace around the world by connecting people across borders and creating opportunities for learning, activism and cooperation. We achieve this through programs in which people from the US and around the world participate in voyages onboard the Peace Boat, our Japan-based partner organization and one of the most unique and creative peace-building initiatives in the world. Programs combine learning, activism, advocacy, and travel, enabling participants to learn first-hand about global issues such as environmental degradation, gender equality, ocean conservation, sustainable development and other important issues. Participants experience grassroots peace-building efforts to find non-violent, creative, and constructive solutions, from local communities to global advocacy networks. Key components of Peace Boat US include our Experiential Learning Programs:
Peace Boat US programs give you access to global experts, travel opportunities, learning spaces and the experience of a lifetime. We work with academic institutions to create custom programs for groups of students, ranging from one week to a full voyage of approximately 100 days, which combine onboard learning with on-the-ground experience and action in the countries we visit. Participants meet local communities affected by global problems and support them in developing creative and constructive solutions at the grassroots level. We also extend a warm welcome to travelers of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in any combination of life-long learning, travel, adventure, activism and immersion in Peace Boatβs unique community onboard. Youth for the SDGs program:
The Youth for the SDGs program is a unique experiential learning and capacity-building program for young activists and scholars engaged in SDG-related initiatives from the US and around the world. Peace Boat US aims to promote and strengthen youth engagement with the UN SDGs campaign, a goal identified as critical to achieving the SDGs. The program is open to participants of any age and background, with a limited number of full and partial scholarships available through a merit and need-based application process for young people working in SDG-related areas in their home countries. Scholarships:
Achieving the SDGs requires mobilization of young people through advocacy, entrepreneurship, volunteering, research, education and other endeavors. Toward this end, Peace Boat US offers a limited number of full and partial scholarships based on a combined need and merit basis, covering transportation between their homes and ports of embarkation and disembarkation with Peace Boat, onboard accommodation and meals, and port programs. Scholarships are available to young activists and scholars, age 18-30, currently engaged in SDG-related initiatives. Click below to learn more::
