The Peacemaker Corps are re-announcing themselves to the world. Not that they need to. The Peacemaker Corps have been around the block, a few times. Each time they circle the block, they spread their message of peace further and further. They've done so over 15 years and show no signs of slowing down, and with the track record they have, why should they? The Peacemaker Corps, a 501(c)(3) and NGO at the United Nations was created in 1997 to educate vulnerable youth in the principles of non-violent conflict resolution and civilized behavior in order to make our world more peaceful, tolerant, and safe.
From the beginning, The Peacemakers Corps have had one main goal, to positively impact large numbers of vulnerable children and youth populations, as well as the communities in which they live. They've furthered impacted the communities by forming an alliance with Franklin/Covey, the internationally acclaimed leadership development and training firm, that has enabled the Peacemakers to increase their capacity to deliver training through schools, community and faith-based channels many fold.
"Peace in the Streets" is their new mantra and the Peacemakers are literally taking their message to the streets and bringing peacemaking skills to urban and inner city schools. Armed with a theme song and a newly designed website the Peacemakers are announcing themselves like never before. They've also partnered with Everloop.com, the ground-breaking social media site for kids under 13. Together the online partnership will empower future generations to come together and encourage peace, compassion, safety and tolerance.
Civility is at the center of the message. "It’s time to bring civility back into our communities, our workplaces, our government… and Everloop can help us do that," says Carole Sumner Krechman, Founder and President of Peacemaker Corps. "It can only happen if we help the next generation learn how to de-escalate conflict."
"Peace in the Streets" is meant to empower not only children under 18, but the adults around them. Find humility in others, and remember in order to make change in our lives, we all need to take to the streets at some point in our lives. Humility, understanding, and peace come together with the Peacemakers new campaign, "Peace in the Streets."
