Learning. To End Violence.

At the Kroc IPJ, we are the bridge between learning and practice within the Kroc School, driving forward its mission to create engaged, applied learning for positive social impact.

To end violence and build peace requires learning. The core of the Kroc IPJ mission is to co-create learning with our PeaceMakers – learning that is deeply grounded in the lived experience of PeaceMakers around the world, that is made rigorous by our place within a university ecosystem, and that has immediate, practical applications for those working to end cycles of violence.

We invite you to come be changemakers with us.
