Social Health Organizations
Peace Through Action can help organizations working to strengthen communities build practical peace skills and organize community action. We can support violence prevention, anti-prejudice, mediation, restorative justice, community and social action organizations, community centers, libraries, and neighborhood and personal development groups.
Here are ways we can help social health organizations:
Teach peace skills that strengthen communities. Our Essential Peace Skills Trainings and Practical Peace Solutions Sessions help community members build compassion, improve communication, and respond to conflict in constructive ways. We can also develop custom practical solutions sessions based on situations people in your community experience.
Organize for community peace. Form a community peace project that brings together residents, organizations, and local leaders to select, organize, and carry out peacebuilding activities.
Help community members take action. Set up Peace Through Action Meet-Ups so participants can create personal action plans for increasing peace in their relationships and communities.
We have designed our resources so community members, volunteers, and local leaders can confidently lead discussions and workshops for their peers. Your organization can incorporate our content into existing programs or community initiatives.
We are able to provide our resources without charge (although we welcome contributions) if you choose to deliver our content to your members, volunteers, and communities yourselves. If you prefer Peace Through Action to deliver our content virtually or in-person, we can do that for a fee.
Here’s how to take the next step toward doing something with us:
- Write programs@peacethroughaction.org and we’ll share a preview of our content.
- Complete this Activity Interest Form and we will follow up.
Peace Through Action appreciates all that national service participants do to get things done for their communities and our country. We are grateful for the support AmeriCorps sponsors and sites provide their members, volunteers, and communities. We hope to contribute to their participants’ development and our communities’ social well-being. Let’s increase peace!
