PeaceMaker Minnesota

Light Candles.  Heal Hearts. Build Peace.

Our mission is to help schools be safer places free from bullying and harassment and to help youth learn positive relational skills like empathy, respect, cooperation, and peaceful conflict resolution.

PeaceMaker Minnesota develops leaders in bullying prevention and conflict resolution. We work with schools to equip K - 8 students with relational skills that can serve them for life. 

Children learn to navigate conflict and choose kindness through our comprehensive programs: Peace Guides, Ambassadors for Respect, Safe School Initiatives, and Books for Peacemakers. As a result, schools become safe, nurturing places where people are valued and relationships matter. 

Every $10 symbolically lights a candle that signifies that peace is worth the work.  Please join us by lighting five, ten or however many candles you can.  

Our goal is to light 6,500 candles -- approximately 10% of the number of students in fourth fourth grade in Minnesota.  We are working toward the day when we can light a candle for every student in every grade.  Please join us.  Please light some candles for students past or present in your life.   Light candles in appreciation for the peacemakers in your life.  Light candles as a sign of your commitment to a less violent, more peaceful world.  

Thank you for your generosity.  

Peace is worth the work.
