Inspired by Active Peace One World One Humanity, a global initiative and ideology started by His Holiness in 1989 and in which the Dalai Lama has participated in the past, APGYC aims to spread the idea that peace is not passive, or simply the absence of violence, but instead, an individual’s ability to continuously grow and reach his or her fullest potential and positive wellbeing. Following Buddhist values such as mindfulness, compassion, and empathy, Active Peace works to help empower one other through mutual discovery and cultural reconnection in a youth-based context.

Active Peace utilizes a guiding framework of positivity, empowerment, ascension, compassion, and empathy. Some initiatives include:

Global Campaigns: Global partnerships with organizations, industry leaders, and school districts to foster holistic well-being and promote cultural understanding

Positive Peace Curriculum: Addressing individualized needs and bridge regional disparities using theoretical webinars, while facilitating practical learning through live meeting rooms and chats
