GenPeace: Young Professionals Group

A Generation Working for Peace!

GenPeace, formed in 2023, is a group of emerging leaders, ages 21-39, with fresh ideas and an ever-expanding social circle. Our members are on a mission to increase awareness of St. Francis Community Services (SFCS) and are passionate about creating sustainable peace in the lives of our neighbors in need.
