2025: Spark Peace Project
This year, we’re inviting youth around the globe to join us on a journey to build a more peaceful world. Through creative action, students can explore their understanding of peace, identify its barriers, and share their vision for a more compassionate, peaceful, and inclusive society.

Creativity in Action
How Students Rebuild Works
Explore a global issue
Each Students Rebuild Project gives students the opportunity to explore an important global issue.
Last year, students learned how to take care of our Extraordinary Earth. This year, they will explore the themes of peace and compassion through the Spark Peace Project.
01
Make a work of creative expression
Since 2010, hundreds of thousands of students have used what they learned to create 7 million works of creative expression around global issues.
Students submitted 166K creative pieces during the Extraordinary Earth Project.
02
Activate a donation
For each creative expression received, or student engaged, Creative Visions donates funds to support organizations making a difference around the world.
During the Extraordinary Earth Project, we collaborated with five organizations with a proven track record of addressing critical needs and impacting local and global climate change.

Insights from participants
- Student
- teacher
- principal
“Through Students Rebuild and different classes at our school, I’ve been able to expand my mind and know more about the world in general. Also, it’s sparked interest in what I want to pursue for the rest of my life.”
“I love how Students Rebuild allows my students to connect to not only students within their own community but to students in other countries across the globe. They loved that they could be a part of that.”
“I believe projects like this bridge the gap and make our global community that much smaller. You’re motivated to think about other people and see what you can do to improve a situation not just at home but somewhere else.”

What’s the dollar match for each piece of creative expression submitted or each student who participates?
For every piece of creative expression or youth engaged, we make a $5 donation to our Impact Partners. Since 2010, more than $12.5 million has been raised, benefiting over 450,000 youth around the world. To incentivize youth to go deeper with projects that may take more time or effort, Creative Visions will trigger a $5 donation for each student who participates.

Where does the donated money come from?
The way it works is simple: our annual Projects invite students to respond to a specific problem affecting young people. Teachers and students explore the issue in class, create art based on their learnings, and send it to us. For every piece of art submitted, we make a financial donation to organizations making a difference in the space.
We ask them to make an impact by creating expressions that reflect their care and concern, and Creative Visions, with the generous support of the Bezos Family Foundation, donates based on those submissions. This approach ensures that youth from all backgrounds and countries can contribute to solving critical global issues.
