National Youth Advocate Program was founded by Dr. Mubarak Awad in 1978. Dr. Awad has committed his life to peace, advocacy and non-violence. Dr. Awad's vision and advocacy toward peace remain deeply rooted in NYAP's mission, vision, values and culture. Among Dr. Awad's many life accomplishments, he is also the founder of Nonviolence International. As our world feels uncertain and violence is ever-present, we commit to advocacy and the promotion of peace. Today, we share these resources from Nonviolence International in hopes that we each do our small part to help create a more peaceful world. "At this time of crisis, we seek new ways to collaborate across divisions that have too long limited us. It seems we are coming apart, just when we need to come together. The problems we face are vast, but we know we are stronger together. And together, we commit to rising to this moment through creative constructive nonviolent action."
