Peacemakers
Peacemakers is a free six-week after school program for children between the ages of 9 and 13. We are excited to offer this program to children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder. The goal is for students to experience and explore the meaning, history and vision of peacemaking, and to develop the skills necessary to carry these experiences into the future.
The program’s focus is on five elements of peacemaking:
- Peace within us
- Peace between persons
- Peace with our bodies
- Peace with our earth
- Peace among all peoples
