This is our 13th Annual Peacebuilder Awards!
Plowshare’s Annual Peacebuilder Award is presented to groups and individuals who have made significant contributions to peace and/or social justice in Southeastern Wisconsin by enhancing understanding and cooperation among people from diverse ethnic, religious, racial and/or socioeconomic backgrounds. The Peacebuilder Award, named in honor of peace and social justice advocate and Plowshare co-founder Kate Delaney Jolin, was initiated in 2014.
In conferring this award, Plowshare seeks to enhance community awareness of the work that is being done by local groups and individuals to
“make peace relevant to the world around us.”
Our 2026 Peacebuilder Award Recipients:
The group award goes to The Waukesha Service Club Thrift Shop & the individual award goes to Jonathan Ward!
Our Fundraiser will kick off on Saturday, April 25th with the Video Premiere recognizing the collective impact that The Waukesha Service Club Thrift Shop has made in our community, as well as the impact that Jonathan Ward and the World Affairs Seminar at Carroll University has made in not just our community but internationally as well!
