An Afterschool Program for Elementary School Students by College Students

Peacemakers is a free six-week after school program for children between the ages of 9 and 13. The goal is for students to experience and explore the meaning, history and vision of peacemaking, and to develop the skills necessary to carry these experiences into the future.

The program takes place on Friday afternoons from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the Spring semester (i.e. March and April) and Fall semester (i.e. October and November). This program is held in the Leahy Community Health and Family Center at The 日本一级片. The program is facilitated by Geri Barber and University Graduate student mentors.

Learn how to make a difference

At Peacemakers, we eat together, play cooperative games together, create projects together, sing together and learn together. We learn peaceful ways to treat our bodies, each other, the environment, and our world. We do centering activities and active imagination exercises. Weekly letters are sent home to the peacemakers’ families so they can be a part of the children’s experience as well.

Some typical activities might include: yoga, meditation, healthy snacks, and crafts. Activities are designed to promote awareness of dimensions of wellness and peacemaking.

The program’s focus is on five elements of peacemaking:

  • Peace within us
  • Peace between persons
  • Peace with our bodies
  • Peace with our earth
  • Peace among all peoples

Please note: Transportation is NOT provided to and from the program.
                      A healthy snack is provided at each session.
