The Peace Studio is a non-profit organization co-founded by educator and author Maya Soetoro and literary agents Todd Shuster and Jennifer Gates that supports, trains, and unites the next generation of artists, journalists, and storytellers to inspire people everywhere to become active peacebuilders. 

Peace isn't just the absence of violence or war. It's the enactment of compassion, kindness, and love. It includes all the small concrete steps they can take individually and collectively to pursue justice, protect human rights, and help others facing hardship, oppression, or other adversity. 

Over the next five years, their goal is to elevate the importance of peacebuilding within the media and to support a vast community of creative activists working to heal our divided world.
