PeaceJam co-founder Dawn Engle will be speaking at the United Nations on Wednesday, February 20th, 2013 from 1:00-2:30pm(EST) about the Global Call to Action Campaign!

Here is an excerpt from the official announcement about the speaking engagement:

This session will explore the development of The Global Call to Action as a unique and international movement authentically engaging young people in the process of working together to solve the most pressing issues of our time. In small groups and clubs, in cities and in villages, Global Call to Action groups are tackling important problems facing our planet – and they are making a difference. This campaign and the efforts of the PeaceJam Foundation have already resulted in nearly two million service projects being implemented by over one million youth across the globe. The campaign is now being expanded, and an international coalition is being invited to join in.
