who we are

Pace for Peace (P4P) is a volunteer-led initiative by current students from three local universities and young professionals. As a group, we have come together to build community with refugees and locals through sport and exercise, as well as to foster awareness and support for broader refugee resettlement

our mission

Our Bi-annual 5K fundraisers highlight a specific organization who provides social services to displaced or resettled refugees, abroad or in Idaho. All to foster connection and support for refugees through inclusive, peace-centered action.

our vision

Our goal is to bring attention to global humanitarian issues, ultimately connecting them back to our local community. We seek to build a world where young leaders and diverse communities build lasting peace together.
