Turning Shared Values into Shared Action
What We Do
We Turn Principles into Action
Peace is built one relationship at a time. Every day, UPF brings together leaders, equips communities, and activates partnerships that strengthen families, advance cooperation, and build a culture of peace.
How We Build Peace
Building peace requires more than good intentions. It requires people who are willing to come together, develop shared values, and work side by side to address the challenges facing their communities.
Everything we do flows from a simple process.
We create trusted spaces where people from different backgrounds can meet, build relationships, and discover common purpose.
Whether bringing together elected officials, faith leaders, educators, business professionals, youth, or community organizations, we believe lasting solutions begin with meaningful dialogue.
Relationships alone are not enough.
We invest in leaders by providing values-based education, leadership development, and practical opportunities to grow in character, collaboration, and service.
Our goal is to prepare people not only to lead, but to lead with integrity.
Dialogue and education must ultimately lead to action.
UPF mobilizes individuals and organizations to work together through service projects, public forums, peace initiatives, educational programs, and collaborative partnerships that create measurable impact in communities around the world.
Where We Work
From Local Communities to Global Partnerships
Peace is built at every level of society.
Through 25 active chapters across the United States, UPF works with local leaders to strengthen families, promote interfaith cooperation, recognize Ambassadors for Peace, and respond to the unique needs of their communities.
UPF USA develops nationwide initiatives that convene leaders around issues such as religious freedom, family strengthening, youth leadership, public service, peace education, and collaborative leadership.
These initiatives create opportunities for Americans from every background to work together for the common good.
As part of an international movement active in more than 190 countries, UPF connects local leaders with global conversations and international partnerships.
From United Nations engagement to international leadership conferences and peacebuilding initiatives, we believe local action and global cooperation strengthen one another.
How We Create Impact
Who We Work With
Real solutions happen when people from different backgrounds work together.
Each sector contributes unique perspectives and strengths to building healthier communities.
Building Peace Together
No single organization can create peace alone.
That is why UPF exists—to connect people of goodwill, strengthen relationships, and inspire collaborative leadership that transforms communities.
Whether serving locally, leading nationally, or partnering globally, every initiative we undertake is guided by one belief:
Peace is built when people choose to work together.
