With diversity, equity, and inclusion at its forefront, PALS prepares teens to be socially responsible leaders. Students are trained to think critically about relevant social issues, learn how to access resources, apply practical leadership skills, receive coaching from college advisors and financial aid representatives, and earn service hours. Upon completing this program, many youth participate
in the nine-month program offered throughout the school year in order to become official NVEEE Peace Ambassadors, further paving the way for them to be peer mentors and powerful advocates for change in their communities. Dates for the 2022 Peace Ambassador Leadership Summit (PALS)
