The Peacemaker Awards are one of San Diego’s premier annual events, drawing over 800 community and civic leaders to celebrate the local and national honorees dedicated to peacemaking in our neighborhoods and around the world. Since the first Peacemaker Awards in 1989, our community of partners and supporters has celebrated many individuals and organizations who recognize a need for change and then craft a positive solution. NCRC has given awards to deserving recipients ranging from well-known elected officials and public figures to reformed gang members and tattoo artists.
