Join the Peace Studio Ambassadors' Circle
Ambassadors’ Circle Impact
Ambassadors’ Circle members helped seed our 100 Offerings of Peace campaign, generating stories and works of art from creatives in 30+ countries. Amidst pandemic, our campaign brought glimpses of hope to an audience of over ONE MILLION. More recently, Peace Studio Ambassadors played a vital role in supporting the creation of our new Skills for Creative Peacebuilding curriculum to train future Peace Studio artists and journalists in mindfulness, strengths-based storytelling, mediation, and self-efficacy. Future Ambassadors will play a critical role in helping The Peace Studio scale its educational programming efforts. Gifts of $1,000 can do SO much:
- Underwrite the costs for ONE underserved young artist to attend an Artist as Catalyst intensive
- Establish Peace Studio alumni collaboration grants to develop social impact ideas. In 2022, three Miami artist-catalysts were awarded $1,000 to create Dale, a social impact card game that raises thoughtful questions to build relationships across cultural differences.
- Expand the well-being portions of our programming. For example, Peace Studio Ambassadors can underwrite experiences that give our fellows and catalysts time in nature to reconnect with their sense of purpose.
- Commission essays for our Peace Studio curriculum and provide honorariums for our community of guest mentors, facilitators, and teachers. Past essayists and mentors include NYT Reporter Cara Buckley, MacArthur winning violinist Vijay Gupta, educator John Paul Lederach, and Doris Duke artist Teo Castellanos.
- Build staff and organizational capacity. Ambassadors help seed staff positions, and grow our data tracking and research capabilities.
