About the Academy

Developing courageous leaders for peaceful communities.

Peacemakers Academy combines leadership development, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, restorative practice, mentoring, and community service.

Program Purpose

From personal growth to community transformation

The Academy helps participants move through four stages: becoming a peacemaker, leading themselves, leading others, and changing the world through organized service.

The curriculum can support churches, schools, mentoring programs, community organizations, youth initiatives, and other youth-serving partnerships. Optional Christian integration is available for faith-based settings.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”Matthew 5:9 (NKJV)
