Our Programs

Peace Warriors
Summer Camp
Grades 3-12
We build our community by finding the strength of our breath. We breathe in and out, creating a stronger community one mindful movement at a time.
Stories of Peace Ancestors mingle with laughter, play, food, and the power of the arts. ROCK Band, Visual Arts, Hip-Hop, Imporv Theatre, and much much more! This is an experience you dont want to miss!

Peace Warriors After School
Working in collaboration with school administration, school culture/wellness team, teachers, parents, and of course the students, we plant seeds of Peace and nurture them into new growth. We believe this model allows for impact that is rooted in sustained relationships and leads to deep transformation.
Shout out to our school partners; Lansing Elementary School and Joe Shoemaker Elementary School.

Young Artists Program (YAP)
Grades 3-5
Our elementary based program utilizes the arts to build community, empower the youth, through music, and art, and self-empowering narrative. Our focus is to build a stronger youth through the power of owning their narrative. A healthy snack and outside play time are a part of our program. We conclude with a community show-out in which the youth get to share their art work.

Youth Leaders Program
Grades 9+
We are cultivating the next generation of peaceful leaders. Through our leadership programs, we build community, practice our peace tools, and provide mentorships and opportunities for our Youth Leaders to facilitate workshops, conversations, and to gain skills that will help them in their future career journey.
