Producing Peace

Producing Peace - A Multifaith Social Action Workshop for Middle School Students

Our organization was delighted to have two Stanford students as interns, who put together a curriculum for Middle School students on issues of injustice and how they can take nonviolent action to create change. The program culminates in the students creating their own "street theater" skits.

The program was recently delivered at a Palo Alto Middle school. Click here to read a story from the Palo Alto Weekly.

If your school or organization would like to have this workshop offered for your youth, please contact us.
