Vision:
We acknowledge that the key to resolving world problems lies in nurturing compassion, respect for cultural identity, gender equality, and embracing responsible environmental practices. Artistic expression, as a universal language, bridges all of these elements and fosters long term sustainable community engagement. Nurturing a multi-cultural society gives voice to all community members empowering them to become agents of positive social change.
Mission
The Unitarian Fellowship for World Peace (UFWP) is a non-denominational, not-for-profit organization that promotes social justice for a sustainable peace. We acknowledge the oneness of humanity and the commonality of the human spirit regardless of gender, ethnicity/race, cultural/religious background, sexual orientation, disability or nationality. We use art as a universal language to promote community and sponsor events that empower underserved minorities within our growing multi-cultural immigrant-friendly city. We are the umbrella for projects that promote social justice, fair trade awareness, and emotional support for those in need of healing, education about human potential, and sustainability of the environment.
