Youth Peacemaker Training The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) holds a Peacemaker Training Institute (PTI) several times a year throughout the country. The goal of PTI is to bring together a diverse group of young people (17-25 years) to learn about active nonviolence and strengthen their leadership and practical organizing skills. Each training explores critical issues such as racism, sexism, militarism, and domestic and global violence. Participants have the opportunity to learn from experienced activists, participate in a work project, and visit grassroots and national organizations working on peace and justice issues. One of the most valuable parts of the program is the opportunity to meet concerned young people from around the country. Upcoming trainings are in Seattle WA, June 21-29; Washington DC, August 15-23; Bangor PA, January 11-19, 1999. Contact Paige Wilder or Neera Singh at FOR, P.O.
