Peace First was founded on the belief that young people have the power and responsibility to change the world. We believe that mastering peacemaking is the key skill of the 21st century and involves demonstrating courage, compassion and the ability to create collaborative change by engaging others. For almost two decades, in 32 states and 23 countries, Peace First has developed and implemented transformative programming to teach young people critical peacemaking skills in order to reduce bullying, develop leadership, and engage young people in playing a vital role in making their schools and communities safer and more just places. Our work empowers students with the skills, relationships, and opportunities to be active, positive forces in their communities and throughout their lives.
