Peace First teaches children how to act peacefully, inspires and enables teachers to teach peacemaking skills, and encourages all of us to see and celebrate the role that young peacemakers can have in changing their own lives, their schools, communities, and the world at large.
Founded in 1992 in response to the youth violence epidemic, Peace First is able to create lasting change in schools because they integrate everything they do into the core academic mission of schools by providing educators with critical skills and knowledge to integrate social-emotional learning into the school’s curriculum and culture—beginning with the classroom and extending into the whole school. more
