What educators and students say

“Peace Guides fill the gaps that would normally be overlooked or not recognized to begin with.”

TEACHER, PEACE GUIDE FEEDBACK

“Teaching empathy and kindness helps students navigate friendships, conflicts, and social challenges positively.”

TEACHER, SAFE SCHOOL INITIATIVES FEEDBACK

“I learned how important it is to be kind and not hurt people.”

STUDENT, SAFE SCHOOL INITIATIVES FEEDBACK

What partnership unlocks

Becoming a partner school is free and ongoing. It's how a school becomes eligible for funded support from three PeaceMaker programs.

Safe School Initiatives

Matching funds for a school's bullying-prevention and climate work, including training, curriculum, or supplies.

Books for Peacemakers

Classroom books and guided discussions that give students the words to work through social and emotional situations — plus a funded storyteller session.

Peace Guide Services

A trained adult works with students one-on-one or in small groups to build confidence and resolve conflict.

Not a partner yet? Ambassadors for Respect presentations, school staff workshops, and parent workshops are open to any Minnesota school.

PeaceMaker Minnesota also serves workplaces and communities

Peacemaking education extends beyond the classroom. The Peaceful Pen brings PeaceMaker's reflective-listening and creative-writing training to parent groups at partner schools, workplaces, and communities across Minnesota.
