The Peaceful Futures scholarship aims to amplify the voices of young leaders and end violence among young people, creating a peaceful future for their peers

NEW YORK, November 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Citizens of our planet (COOP), the newly launched foundation of Piper Pepper, the leading B2B routing and planning software since 2016, today announced a donation of $ 50,000 to Peaceful Future Scholarship Fund of A young world, a global forum for young leaders. COOP is committed to supporting and connecting global efforts focused on creating a more equitable, inclusive and peaceful future.

“One Young World is thrilled to be one of the first partners of Chile Piper’s recently launched Citizens of Our Planet Foundation,” said Ella Robertson McKay, CEO of One Young World. “Chili Piper’s vision of making this strong philanthropic commitment as a relatively young company is exactly the kind of progressive leadership that One Young World aims to motivate. “

The Peaceful Futures Fellowship was created to identify and amplify the voices of young leaders who undertake exemplary work to end youth violence and create a peaceful future for their peers and future generations. Homicide is one of the leading causes of death among 10-29 year olds. Tackling this crisis requires a comprehensive approach that both mitigates the immediate consequences of violence and addresses the root causes of the problem. One Young World believes that it is essential that the lived experiences of young people play a central role in the creation and implementation of these solutions.

“Thanks to this grant donation, we will give access to the One Young World Summit in Tokyo 2022 to six young leaders who are working to end violence among young people in their communities and countries,” said Nicolas Vandenberghe, co-founder and CEO of Chili Piper. “At Chili Piper, we are committed to making positive social, environmental and economic change. With this donation, we are proud to help young leaders fight the terrible crisis of violence among young people.

Selected scholars will receive full funding to participate in the One Young World 2022 Summit to be held in Tokyo, Japan, May 16-19, 2022. The annual One Young World Summit brings together the brightest young talents from all countries and industries , working to accelerate social impact. Delegates from more than 190 countries are advised by influential political, business and humanitarian leaders such as Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman and Meghan Markle, among many other world figures.

After the summit, fellows will become ambassadors for One Young World and return to their communities and organizations with access to a global network of over 12,000 young leaders to accelerate existing initiatives or start new businesses.

Applicants are invited to complete an application form at https://www.oneyoungworld.com/scholarships/peaceful-futures/2022. One Young World will assess applicants based on their leadership capacity, innovation capacity, and demonstrate their impact on reducing youth violence. One Young World is seeking candidates who approach youth violence from a wide range of perspectives, including educational interventions, efforts to address root causes, and interventions that strengthen cohesion between groups in conflict. Fellows will be selected by Citizens of Our Planet from a shortlist provided by One Young World.
