About me:
HLHS PeaceJam is a group of Horn Lake High Students who explore issues related to peace, violence, social justice, and oppression. Because the group is comprised of high school students, we are PeaceJam Ambassadors.
In PeaceJam, youth study the lives and work of 12 Nobel Peace Laureates and the strategies they use to address pressing global issues. PeaceJam Ambassadors create and implement their own Global Call to Action Projects, becoming creative leaders who are committed to solving the most difficult problems facing our world.
The program also includes an annual PeaceJam Youth Conference where youth spend a weekend with a Nobel Peace Laureate, giving them an unprecedented opportunity to share with, learn from, and be inspired by a world leader for peace.
Please never hesitate to join us on a Thursday afternoon to get involved in service projects around DeSoto County. We would love to put you to work! Explore our links to learn more about the issues we are passionate about and the causes we support, and check our blog for upcoming events and ways to get involved.
Who I'd like to meet: Click on a Laureate's picture for more information about them.
Though it would be nice to meet them all, every opportunity to listen to and learn from such amazing people is a blessing and we are all truly grateful for the time we have with each one of them.
