It’s one of our areas of focus, and since 2002, Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,900 fellows in peace studies and sustainable development.<br>
<br>
Another way districts can mark the day is to designate Rotary Peace Fellowships subcommittee chairs for 2026-27 if they haven’t already. These leaders promote peace fellows’ work, as well as recruiting and guiding candidates for <a href="https://msgfocus.rotary.org/c/1tkvXQ1ZcPEGmDasIhYWgmt7GIDWu8" style="color:rgb(0,168,228)" target="_blank">Rotary Peace Fellowships</a>.
