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.
