... Youth are not in the BOX yet.        Peace comes from within – you must walk the talk.         Education is peace in a minority.         It is not your life; it is the rest of your life that is being asked of you to give.         Whatever is done needs to be done from the heart.        Youth are ‘go getters.’         It’s cool to care. ...

Nationality: Canadian
Short Description:

Beginning at a young age, Erin took on the challenging task of voicing her concerns regarding the need for establishing peace locally, nationally and around the world. Inspired and angered by their stories, Erin initiated the first “War is Not a Game” campaign project on the East Coast of Canada through the Youth Ambassadors for Peace program.

Erin took a position with Leaders Today as a motivational speaker and as Director of the Arizona/Mexico Peace and Leadership Centre where she has spent many months facilitating discussions of peace and conflict with youth from all over the world. She has toured North America on the “We Generation” speaking tour, where she spoke to almost 40 000 young people this year.

Erin’s dedication to promoting peace through education, inspiration and youth permeates every aspect of her life. As a strong female leader in her organization, she seeks to promote peaceful negotiations and conflict resolution on an individual and global level.
