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.

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.
