OUR MISSION

The Peace Education Program strengthens communities and schools by training youth and adults to build and sustain positive relationships. We do this by providing learning experiences to reduce violence, enhance personal integrity and foster mutual respect. We teach conflict resolution, peer mediation and prejudice reduction. 

Our Services

Resolving Conflict Peacefully

Navigators

The Navigators is a mentoring program that focuses on helping young men who need extra guidance navigating life’s natural conflicts and gives them practical skills.

Youth Programming

Peace Education Program conducts workshops in elementary, middle, or high school classrooms and community centers. These sessions allow young people to explore their own experience with conflict and brainstorm nonviolent techniques for solving problems.

Workshops

Peace Education Program offers professional development workshops for youth workers and educators at our site. Many of these programs can be customized for off-site workshops as well.

ABOUT US

Giving Youth More Than A Fighting Chance Since 1982

It all started In 1982 when Peace Education Program taught conflict resolution in one classroom, in one school. Today we have a network of 88 schools in Jefferson County where mediation and/or conflict resolution is practiced every day. Today we impact 20,000 youths annually.
