Peace Ambassadors USA is a non-profit, community based organization founded in 2012 to fight bias, bigotry, and racism through education and interfaith dialogue. PA will be utilizing education and outreach programs mixed with charitable works to accomplish its mission. Through these activities and programs, PAwill focus on building bridges of peace, understanding, and co-existence between Muslim and non-Muslim Americans of all faiths and backgrounds. Peace Ambassadors USA’s vision is to excel in providing innovative outreach services and education programs by establishing quality instructional programs, disseminating educational products, and founding charitable works and services in order to promote better interfaith communication and services.

Actions speak louder than words. The founders of this project have realized that it has become imperative to stand up and show the genuine and peaceful nature of their faith through action rather than talk. Establishing outreach programs and services are some of the actions that they have decided to undertake. Showing true love and genuine respect to those around us will be transpired through involvement in the community. Caring about the poor, helping the needy, and communicating with others will eventually lead to the changing of the negative pre-conceived notions about Islam and Muslims that many people around the world hold.

Unfortunately, a great deal of Americans do not know much about Islam except what they learn from the mainstream media. A vast number of them think that Muslims are stone worshipers who revere a Moon god. In their minds, that is why the Muslims place the crescents on the top of Mosques. This misconception and many others have created a great deal of resentment between Muslims and Non-Muslims. The founders of Peace Ambassadorshope that through genuine dialogue, programs, and initiatives they will help to clear up these misconceptions and play a leading role in fostering a more assertive and constructive relationship.
