PeaceMaker Minnesota

Thank you for seeking to make a gift to prevent violence by stopping bullying and  by teaching youth positive relational skills like empathy, respect, cooperation and how to resolve conflicts peacefully. 

Our vision is for a more peaceful world where people live in solidarity with one another and resolve differences collaboratively.  Our goal is for kids in every community to be learning to be peacemakers.  Thank you for joining us on this mission one student, one school, one community at a time.  

Your gift will support more teachers, students and others in teaching kids positive relational skills by:

• Providing financial assistance to help school personnel purchase curriculum, obtain training and buy supplies.  
• Paying self-advocates (individuals with developmental disabilities) to deliver Ambassadors for Respect trainings for fourth grade students by talking about how they experienced bullying, the importance of including others, how to use Person First Language, and steps one can take to be an advocate for oneself and others.
• Hiring Peace Guides to work at schools to help youth resolve conflicts, address bullying, repair harm and improve relational skills.  
• Purchasing books (One, The Barnyard Buddies STOP For Peace, Make a Friend, Be a Friend, and Ease the Tease) to help children in grades K - 3 to learn the value of standing up for others, how to resolve conflicts peacefully, friendship skills and how to respond to teasing.  In the Books for Peacemakers project students read a book, discuss it, write about and are offered to keep the book. 

Every day that 10 people donate for the first time this year one of the gifts will be randomly drawn for a $250 match from CAP Carpet and Fooring.

Every day that any PeaceMaker fundraiser (including this page for unrestricted gifts or any campaign below) exceeds an increment of $250 Hubbard Broadcasting Foundation will add an additional $250 to that fund. 

Thank you for doing what you can to help secure this additional funding.

THANK YOU for your generosity to create safer schools, communities and world.
