Volunteer

Please volunteer with the Peace Flag Project. We want to do all we can to build a more peaceful, kind and generous world, and we need many different kinds of help.

We need volunteers to work on publicity and marketing and people to hand out flyers or sew flags on strings. There’s a job for all interests and skill levels. Bring your skills or try your hand at new ones.

We are located in Rhode Island. For some jobs, you need to be close by, but for others, it doesn’t matter where you live. Check out our Mission Statement and Events pages for more details about what we do. Here’s a quick overview:

We work with groups throughout RI creating Peace Flags to express important wishes for the world.
Our major event is celebrating the UN Int’l Day of Peace on September 21.

We also collaborate with other organizations to create peace parks and peace gardens.
Our newest project is to create an after-school peace curriculum for students in Grades 4 through 8.
