As Alana Lea, creator of the site, likes to quote:
"Children, everybody, here's what to do during a war; In a time of destruction, create something.
A poem. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment."
- from The Fifth Book of Peace by Maxine Hong Kingston

| Artistic rendering of concepts & ideals as related to Purpose and eventual goals of vUSPA, including:
* Eagle: integrative overview and foresight, as well as clothed by the more peaceful of the traditional symbols in the original seal of the United States (olive branch, banner "E Pluribus Unum" - meaning "Of Many, One").
* Dove: peace, non-violence, gentleness.
* Olive Branch: ages old symbol for Peace. In "the Great Seal," where the eagle is also holding arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other, the eagle has its head turned towards the olive branch, said to symbolize a preference for peace.
* Globe: global citizen oriented.
* Open Book: Right Use of Knowledge, Right Parenting, Right Use of Science
* Circle of Symbols of World Religions: Ecuminicism of Beliefs.
* 4 Directions Hoop: a symbol common to almost all Indigenous people of the Americas, but of other world cultures as well, The four cardinal points of the medicine wheel can be used to explain the complex reality of personal and community development.
