Community Counts Campaign

May 1 through May 10, 2024

Every May we come together to show our support for youth learning to treat each other with compassion and kindness, to form a new community of peacemakers, and to make bullying prevention and conflict resolution education possible in communities across Minnesota.



Your help is needed for more than 300 people and organizations to be counted as peacemakers by May 10th of this year.

This Year’s Honorary PeaceMaker, Lorene Roste

Please join us in honoring Lorene Roste, a long- time volunteer who will be “retiring” from her PeaceMaker work following this campaign. For many years, Lorene has been coming to the office every week to write thank you letters, pay bills, do data entry, research schools…. so many, many things to keep our work going. We are so very grateful to Lorene and all that she has given the mission to stop bullying and to help youth learn healthy relational skills. Please make your gift in honor of Lorene and join our expression of gratitude.

Thank you to all who donated in tribute to Lorene!
