His work has also included the development programs to promote peace and justice amongst urban youth and provide students in these areas with alternatives to military service. Minister Glen has spoken to thousands of youth and adults throughout the United States, Jamaica, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Ghana. He has helped to organize many community events in the U.S. and Hampton, Virginia, including Community Unity Day which was recognized by the mayor of Hampton in 1995.
