Vision:
We acknowledge that the key to resolving world problems lies in nurturing social competence, gender equality , and respect for the environment in young children. Therefore, we pledge to educate the community about the importance of developmentally appropriate adult-child interactions as a key to raising social consciousness and an economy responsive to protecting the environment.

Mission
The Unitarian Fellowship for World Peace (UFWP) is a non-denominational, not-for-profit organization that provides a common ground for problem-solving issues facing children and their families. We acknowledge the oneness of humanity and the commonality of the human spirit regardless of ethnic/racial origin, cultural/religious background, or nationality. Our purpose is to educate the public about the importance of recognizing that a sustainable world peace in the future is dependent upon how we raise our children today. Our tools are dialogue, using art as a universal language, emotional support for those in need of healing, and education about human potential, renewal, and sustainability of the environment.
