2025 Ignite Peace Bob Maxwell Peace Builder Award
Ignite Peace established the Bob Maxwell Peace Builder Award in 2017 in honor of Robert “Bob” Maxwell who passed away in 2016 and who was a steadfast supporter of the work of Ignite Peace. The Bob Maxwell Peace Builder Award recipients are distinguished by giving public witness to justice issues to bring about peace. They have contributed to building understanding, collaboration, and trust in Greater Cincinnati, while holding the belief that peace is possible.

2025 Ignite Peace Youth Justice Award
Ignite Peace is excited to present the 2025 Ignite Peace Youth Justice Award. This award will be given to a club, group, or extracurricular program of high school students who have made a dedicated effort to promote justice in Greater Cincinnati. The winner will receive the award as part of Ignite Peace’s Annual Gathering in the fall of 2025 (date TBD). In addition to the recognition, a $500 award will be given to the group.

We will be accepting nominations until June 29, 2024 at 11:59 PM.
