Be part of Something Bigger

#FoRB4All

Beyond borders,
Beyond backgrounds,
Beyond beliefs, 
Belong to something bigger

Find your people. Unite in purpose. Work for peace. 

Everyone’s fighting battles, let’s build bridges instead. Join the movement that transcends tribalism.

Belong to a community where interfaith harmony is more than a dream—it’s our reality.

Your people aren’t your people because they look like you or live by you. 
They might even have dramatically different beliefs from you. 
Your people are your people because they share your core values.
That *everyone,* *everywhere* deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
Regardless of what they look like, where they live, or how they believe. 
Come meet your people. 

Dare to stand out:

React to differences with curiosity rather than anger.
Give people the benefit of the doubt rather than assuming the worst. 
Seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
Stand for the dignity and rights of those whose opinions are the opposite. 
Choose compassion over condemnation

In a world fueled by conflict, those who work to build bridges sometimes find themselves standing alone.”

But you’re not the only one. The Global Youth Summit brings together young peacemakers like you—people who believe in unity, not division; respect, not ridicule. Last year, we connected for a moment. This year, we are building that moment into a movement. Through quarterly events, monthly trainings, and ongoing communication, you’ll find your people and grow together all year long. Together, we’ll transcend tribalism and work toward a world that upholds freedom of religion or belief for everyone, everywhere.
