Hello everyone,
I'm writing this to let you all know that I recently established an NGO called the International Peace Association, or IPA. Here's the mission statement (only half finished):
-----
Our Vision
IPA operations are based upon the organization's vision, which is of a peaceful, global society free from prejudice of any kind. There are many ways to help in achieving such a society; IPA will focus on the following method...
Our Mission
In order to work towards a peaceful society, IPA is dedicated in bringing together the international community in order to create a bond that extends beyond the barriers of religion, race, ethnicity, and nationality. We aim to increase communication between people who would be otherwise isolated from one other, through utilization of the internet.
Strategies
To turn our mission into a reality, we must:
1. Provide and make use of an online discussion forum to promote communication between people of different nationalities.
2. Raise funds for donation to a major global NGO with similar goals to IPA. The recipient is yet to be decided, but we are currently looking for a suitable organization.
Goals
The specific goals of our two strategies are as follows. We aim to:
1. Promote the use of our international forum to many different communities, through widespread advertising, initially on the internet.
2. Assist people in realizing the importance of diversity, through various inter-cultural team exercises
3. Inform and bring together the youth of today, building a global network that will allow for a more peaceful tomorrow.
4. Volunteer on a local level, either individually or in groups - helping to develop a grassroots member base and raising awareness of IPA.
5. Organize and participate in fund raising projects for donation to our mother NGO. (yet to be specified)

I'm looking for staff now, before IPA opens its forums to the public. I thought that the YFCI forums would be a great place to start. If any of you are interested in a staff position, please let me know by PM or email, or just post here.
Duties would involve simply providing suggestions and opinions on the organisation and the forum at first. Begin active on the forums would be very valuable at the beginning, to initiate conversations there.
Feel free to ask any questions or leave comments here.
Thanks,
Matt
IPA Founder
