Peace Games
Headquarters: Boston, MA | Founded: 1992 | www.peacegames.org
Peace Games is creating a world in which every child has the skills, knowledge, supportive relationships, and opportunities to prevent violence and build safer communities. Peace Games builds the capacity of schools and community groups to implement holistic peace and justice education programs and empowers students to create their own safe classrooms and communities by forming partnerships with elementary schools, families, and young adult volunteers. Peace Games is changing the way our nation views children in the context of violence by demonstrating that peacemaking skills can be learned and employed by our youngest citizens.
