Youth Peacebuilding Summit
Be part of something transformational—donate or volunteer with PMI and help unleash the leadership, empathy, and vision of the next generation of change-makers
The Power of Us: Youth Voice In Action
At the Peer Mediation Invitational, over 700 students, educators, and volunteers from across Los Angeles County unite for an unforgettable, high-energy summit dedicated to youth empowerment and transformative leadership. Across two days packed with hands-on workshops, peer-mediation training, and community-building, students gain the real-world skills and confidence to resolve conflicts, lead with empathy, and drive positive change within their schools.
PMI is more than an event—it’s a launchpad for the next generation of change-makers, giving young people the tools and agency to create a culture of understanding, belonging, and lasting impact on their campuses.
Why It Matters
Peace is more than an end goal—it’s an everyday action. When young people engage in mediation and conflict resolution, they discover the power within themselves to turn every conversation into a catalyst for understanding, healing, and real change in their communities.
