Men as Peacemakers

Men as Peacemakers works to foster and develop peacemakers through modeling, mentoring, storytelling and dialogue. Peacemakers stand up and say there is an alternative to violence, and that violence is not acceptable. They help children develop the assets they need - positive values, family structure, and role models - to grow up healthy. Through mentoring and other programs, they teach men and boys, women and girls new ways of being and of doing. Peacemakers resist the sense of powerlessness that violence brings to our community.
