Ambassador for Peace Spotlight: Jeremy McNally
The strength of the Ambassadors for Peace (AFP) program lies in its ability to recognize and elevate leaders who are already living out the values of service, innovation, and community transformation. Few examples illustrate this better than Jeremy McNally, whose commitment to uplifting others has created ripple effects across generations.
Together with his son, Aiden, Jeremy co-founded The Relief Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to serving and rehabilitating individuals experiencing homelessness. What makes their work especially powerful is its intergenerational spirit—modeling compassion, responsibility, and civic engagement for young people while addressing urgent community needs. In parallel, Jeremy is helping to build a youth program designed to connect teenagers with their communities, equipping them with life skills and a sense of purpose at a critical stage of development.
Professionally, Jeremy brings the same excellence and intentionality to his career. A full-stack software engineer who graduated at the top of his class, he has served in numerous leadership roles including software development manager, team leader, project manager, and scrum master. He is also the author of How to Unlock Your Inner Drive, reflecting his passion for personal growth and leadership development.
Beyond his professional achievements, Jeremy dedicates his time to volunteering—teaching children robotics and coding, and opening doors to future opportunities in technology. His impact has drawn recognition from state and local leaders, including the New Hampshire Senate’s Director for Policy and Projects, mayors, and school districts across the state.
In nominating 20 individuals for appointment as Ambassadors for Peace, Jeremy has extended this impact even further. His nominations reflect the heart of AFP: identifying everyday leaders who are building peace not only through words, but through consistent action, service, and mentorship. The AFP program plays a vital role in affirming such leadership, connecting changemakers, and inspiring others to step forward in service to the common good.
Jeremy McNally’s work reminds us that peace is built locally, strengthened through partnership, and sustained by leaders willing to invest in people. Through the Ambassadors for Peace program, those efforts are recognized, multiplied, and woven into a global movement for lasting peace.
