In partnership with a variety of stakeholders in youth leadership development, GPYC brings together young leaders of all faiths, cultures, nationalities, and interests under a common vision and universal principles aiming to positively impact youth culture. Through its advocacy of core thematic ideals {Aspirations, Principles & Values} that enhance practical agenda for youth development, young people of all categories are influenced and could get hold of an interest to partake in peace-building efforts involving the youth sector. College campuses, in particular, are especially significant in defining the culture and values of the next generation of leaders. It is mainly for that reason why GPYC is more visible in the college campuses. In order to move a nation toward peace, one must first move the youth of that nation. Therefore, the success of GPYC is critical to the success of the entire GPF movement.
