Today, 42 million people are displaced by armed conflict or persecution. Through our partnerships with several leading universities, Rotary Peace Fellows develop the skills to strengthen peace efforts, train local leaders to prevent and mediate conflict, and support long-term peace building in areas affected by conflict. We provide up to 100 peace fellowships per year at Rotary Peace Centers. (July 2014)

The Foundation enables Rotarians to promote the practice of peace and conflict prevention/ resolution by:

1. Training leaders, including potential youth leaders, to prevent and mediate conflict
2. Supporting peace-building in communities and regions affected by conflict
3. Supporting studies for career-minded professionals related to peace and conflict prevention/resolution
