Our Programs
Peace Through Action® USA inspires and equips everyday people to increase safety, belonging, and peace in their relationships and communities by cultivating their compassion and increasing their constructive communication and conflict resolution skills.
We accomplish our mission by producing events and resources for exploring civic and social concerns, promoting examples of inspiring community peacebuilders, encouraging spiritual self-care and anchoring, teaching practical peace skills, supporting personal and small group action planning for peace, bolstering community peacebuilding efforts, and advocating for a socially just society.
We implement these actions through our programs. Our programs change norms of acceptable behavior among the public, uplift spirits of community members, increase competence of community members in peace practices, improve capacity of community organizations to deliver peace practices to their community members, and increase social capital within communities.
Peace Through Action® USA offers services to community members, communities, and the public through five peacebuilding programs.
Peace Explorers—provides opportunities for people to learn about diverse populations, current events affecting social distress, forms of aggression and violence, and types of peace practices.
Peace Accelerators—equips people to create peace in their relationships and communities through peer-to-peer peace skills-building, action planning for peace, and resources and services discovery.
Peace Agents—provides compensated servant leaders to geographic communities to bolster their capacity to deliver peacebuilding activities.
Peace Promoters—provides opportunities for people to encourage peaceful behavior and reject aggression and violence.
Peace Uplifters—provides opportunities for people with faith beliefs or healing capabilities to direct prayer, meditation, energy, and support toward the achievement of interpersonal peace.
