Young Ambassadors for Peace have shown a commitment to service and peace-making activities in many fields, including religion, politics, media, academia, business, the arts, sports, and volunteer associations. They are contributing both within their chosen sphere of influence as well as in collaboration with international peace builders in service and relief projects, such as building schools, digging wells, and renovating communities and sponsoring dialogue in conflict areas.

Recognition as a Young Ambassador for Peace is not an acknowledgment of past achievements, but rather an appointment or a commission to assume new, often more broad-minded responsibility toward achieving the goal of creating a world of peace.

Young Ambassadors for Peace affirm and put into practice the following principles:

• There is one God who is the Creator of all and the parent of all humankind.
• Human beings are essentially spiritual in their nature.
• The family is the central institution of all societies, and is the "school of love" for the growth and development of all people. The foundation of stable families is faithful and committed marriage.
• The highest standard in human relationships is to live for the sake of others.
• Interreligious and international cooperation are essential to building genuine and lasting peace.

These five principles provide the grounds for the inter-religious and cross-cultural collaboration that are needed to address contemporary conflicts, often rooted in ethnic and religious identity.
