2025: Spark Peace Project
This year, we’re inviting youth around the globe to join us on a journey to build a more peaceful world. Through creative action, students can explore their understanding of peace, identify its barriers, and share their vision for a more compassionate, peaceful, and inclusive society.
Join us!
The Spark Peace Project invites young people everywhere to use their power and creativity to engage with the world’s most pressing issues and build a more peaceful world.
Use our ready-made lesson plans and creative resources to support students as they learn and explore what peace and compassion mean to themselves, their communities, and worldwide.
Students then choose a creative medium to express their ideas about peace. Each work of creative expression—or student engaged—triggers a $5 donation for organizations doing peacebuilding work around the world.

Why the Spark Peace Project?
Peace and compassion are needed today more than ever.
Young people face an increasingly complex world with global conflicts, social injustices, and mental health challenges shaping their realities.
Help young people grow.
Teaching students about peace helps them develop problem-solving and social-emotional skills and promotes compassion, critical thinking, and collaboration—essential tools for navigating and solving the complex challenges they face and becoming impactful and engaged global citizens.
Students can be empowered.
Deepening their understanding of peace empowers young people to positively impact their world, both now and in the future. It also helps youth explore global issues and connect to youth worldwide.

The programs your art helps fund
For each Students Rebuild annual Project, we partner with high-impact organizations working on the ground to help strengthen communities worldwide—many of them household names. The funds we donate transform student work into immediate, on-the-ground progress for carefully vetted programs that are evaluated according to the outcomes they produce. In addition to extending our reach and helping our funding make more of a difference, our partners also inform the resources we provide to teachers and students.
