Help Us Send 1,000 Peace Cranes to the United Nations for World Peace Day – read guidelines carefully to participate.

2025 Theme: Act Now for a Peaceful World

On September 21, 2025 the world will observe World Peace Day (International Day of Peace). This year’s UN theme — Act Now for a Peaceful World — calls on everyone to take concrete steps toward non-violence, respect, and understanding. As our contribution, we’re sending 1,000 folded paper cranes to the United Nations Headquarters in New York as a symbol of peace, unity, and hope for all 193 member states.

Guidelines for how you can help:

  • Use paper 6 inches square or smaller — no exceptions.

  • Fold neatly so cranes are uniform and well-formed.

  • Bring cranes in counted, labeled bags — ideally in groups of 25.

  • Deadline / Drop-off: Bring counted, labeled bags to the Peace Center by September 15, 2025, anytime between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

Whether you fold 5 cranes or 50, your contribution is a concrete action for peace. Join us in sending a visible, heartfelt message to the world.
