This year’s UN theme, Cultivating a Culture of Peace, underscores the global need to promote mutual understanding, goodwill, and peace within our communities — the cornerstone of Rotary’s mission. To support this goal, Rotary partners with eight leading universities around the world to offer Rotary Peace Fellowships that provide the education, training, and capacity building peace and development professionals need to help them successfully prevent and resolve conflict.
Chair for the Peace Fellowship Program Laraine Lasdon, is available to explain the Peace Fellowship program to clubs via phone or zoom or in person when possible. Applicants are being reviewed now for 2025-2026 and all District 5870 Clubs are invited to contact her to discuss how applicants may be found in your own communities.
