We believe that integrating these 5 elements into every part of a child's day promotes the total well-being of children. Not only do they serve as a vehicle for building a child's curiosity and excitement about the world around them, these 5 areas foster physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being also.
Where we Work
Homes
Schools
After-School
Programs
LIBRaries
Community
Centers
By transforming each of these spaces into a PeaceGroundTM, we will establish a path enabling all children in the United States to rank higher globally in their academic achievement, to incorporate holistic treatment options into their mental health plan and to interact with others with greater hospitality and appreciation for difference.
​
Our P.E.A.C.E. partners are committed to training staff that are capable of recognizing the innate gifts in young people and develop activites that foster those gifts into full expression. They are committed to balancing each young person's day with the 5 aspects of P.E.A.C.E. And they are invested in sharing knowledge with other caregivers for the sake of promoting continuity in each young person's development. These commitments are what give them the honor of wearing a PeaceGroundTM, Badge.
​
Our method is simple:
​
-
Increase adult sensitivity to the developmental tasks for the ages they work with
-
Train child workers to identify and spark the skills and abilities already present in each child
-
Employ P.E.A.C.E. into the organizations weekly schedule
​
One organization at a time, we believe the expansion of the PeaceGroundTM will change the trajectory for our children's future by creating spaces that welcome the child's contribution, embrace the child's personality and presents activities that aid the child in recognizing ways to share their talents with others.
