Young people lighting the way in their own communities

Through theater, debate, storytelling, and hands-on community projects, young people explore what children's rights look like in everyday life — who gets a say, who can use a public space, and what they can do to make their communities more welcoming, accessible, and sustainable.

A society of young investigators, listeners, and builders

The Justice League Society is a Beyond Borders Productions youth program sponsored by Peacemaker Enterprise. Through theater, debate, storytelling, and hands-on community projects, young people explore what children's rights look like in everyday life.

They ask who gets a say, who can use a public space, and what they can do to make their communities more welcoming, accessible, and sustainable.

Public launch — November 20

Children's Rights Day Celebration

The Society marks its public launch on November 20 in observance of United Nations World Children's Day, which commemorates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Children's Peace Day Invitational gives families, schools, youth groups, and community theaters a place to begin.

The Peacemaker Way

Using the Peacemaker Way, young people investigate what is happening, listen to the people affected, and work with local partners on a practical response. They return to see what changed and what still needs work.

Investigate

Find out what is actually happening, with open eyes and honest questions.

Listen

Hear from the people affected — especially the ones usually left out of the room.

Act together

Work with local partners on a practical response the community can actually use.

Return

Come back to see what changed and what still needs work — and consider what these choices will leave for the next seven generations.

Torch invitations

The season's invitations

Each invitation opens with a story and ends with an idea carried into the community.

An empty chair kept ready — a seat waiting for the next young person to join the Society

Begins November 20

The Invitation That Arrived Tomorrow

An empty chair and a late invitation open the Society's first gathering. Young people ask who was left out and how the story changes when that person has a voice.

Open the Wonder Lab

Theater

The Invitation That Arrived Tomorrow

A free theater activity in which an empty chair and a late invitation prompt young people to ask who was left out and how the story changes when that person has a voice.

Inquiry

Who Gets a Say?

Young people investigate a decision in their school or neighborhood: who was asked, who decided, and who will live with the result. Then they design a fairer way to ask.

Dialogue

The Empty Chair Circle

A listening circle that gives every voice a turn. Participants notice who is missing from the conversation and practice inviting them in with care.

Community project

The Safer Route Map

Young people map the routes children in their community actually take to places where they gather, then work with local partners on what could make them safer and more welcoming.

Five branches, one society

Students lead through five branches — story and stage, voice and reason, hands and habitat, maps and places, and welcome and well-being.

Meet the five branches

Looking further ahead
