The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Award recognizes and celebrates outstanding young people and youth organizations that promote community, peace, leadership, justice and civil rights in the spirit of the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This year Seattle Center invited the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative to be a partner in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Awards. Through this partnership the MLK Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Awards were created to recognize the efforts of youth and youth-serving organizations to reduce and prevent youth violence in Seattle.
