How can you help?

Volunteer as a Peace Pal in order to teach students skills in conflict management. Give 45 minutes once a week to help students improve their communication skills, increase problem-solving abilities, respect and appreciate differences and ultimately learn how to respond to conflict more constructively.

We are looking for COMMUNITY MEMBERS who can give up their lunch hour, college students who have workable schedules, retired folk looking for a meaningful way to spend some of their time, stay at home moms or dads wanting to volunteer, adults who work second shift, teachers who can leave during study hall...

We want people who believe in the need for change and can volunteer during the school day (probably near downtown) once a week for 45 minutes. You will read a children's book, lead a discussion and facilitate an activity. We provide training in basic conflict management skills, agenda, children's books, discussions, and activities. School locations are still being determined for this year.
