Peace Partnership

Across 7 partnering schools, we have been able to serve 432 students through 9,910 counseling sessions.

This is the kind of support you help make possible.
To every donor and community partner who stands with Peace Partnership, thank you.

Behind every number is a child walking into school carrying more than a backpack
Worry they cannot name
Stress they should not have to manage
A home situation they do not know how to explain

Counseling is not only for crisis.
For many kids, it is where they learn to name what they feel, steady their bodies, and build healthy coping skills with a trusted counselor.

Sometimes the change is simple.
A child who can finally take a breath and go back to class a little more steady.

This stack of Valentines were made by kids in our partnering schools.

Tiny hands. Big hearts. Real gratitude. These Valentines are more than paper and stickers.

They are tiny thank yous from kids in our partnering schools who are learning that it is okay to talk about big feelings, to ask for help, and to not carry hard things alone.

Because of our sponsors and donors, these students have access to counseling at school and a safe place where they can be seen, heard, and supported when life feels heavy.

To every person and business who makes this possible, thank you for choosing to show up for kids. Your generosity is creating real hope and real healing.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Peace Partnershipo our sponsors and donors, you are the reason these students have a safe place to talk, feel seen, and get support when life feels heavy. Thank you for making counseling possible. Happy Valentine’s Day

Together, we are closing the gap.

It’s Super Bowl Sunday!

Yes, the Chiefs are watching with us and we’re still a little salty 😅

But for 3 hours, we’re all coaches and the most dramatic snack based holiday of the year can officially commence!

New on the Peace Partnership blog!

“Come Out of Hiding” is a powerful reminder that real connection starts when we stop masking and start showing up honestly. If you have ever held back what you really think or feel just to keep the peace, this one is for you.

Well, it is Groundhog Day again. The one day a large squirrel gets handed the microphone and we all just go with it!

Here at Peace Partnership, we want you to believe in yourself like a groundhog who believes he's a meteorologist.

He saw his shadow, so the forecast is 6 more weeks of winter.
Confidence: unmatched. Credentials: questionable. 😅

I don’t know what anonymous, magnificent angel dropped these off for us, but THANK YOU and may God bless your decendants for a thousand generations😂🤝🙏😍
