The Peaceful Project company information, Employees & Contact Information

THE PEACEFUL PROJECT is a nonprofit organization. We are committed to anti-racism, equity, anti-oppression, justice, and inclusion. At The Peaceful Project, we are aware that the leaders of tomorrow are the youth of today. With our experience, knowledge, expertise and wisdom, we provide opportunities, methods, and tools for individuals to access the brilliance that resides within. When people feel good about themselves internally, when they have the confidence within to express their brilliance, they will do what is best and create amazing journeys for themselves. We guide them to find their own inner wisdom and truth and effectively express that in their lives. The importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) has been recognized by many including educators and psychologists. The impact of SEL has also been confirmed by research. All our programs are social-emotional learning experiences. From enhancing children’s confidence in themselves, increasing their engagement in school, raising test scores and grades, and promoting greater awareness and regulation of their behavior, the short-term impact of SEL has been researched and documented. Research has also shown a long-term impact, noting that children “with greater social-emotional competence are more likely to be ready for college, succeed in their careers, have positive relationships and better mental health, and become engaged citizens” Research has found that social-emotional learning skills may be “just as important as academic or purely cognitive skills for understanding how people succeed in school, college, and careers. In addition, preliminary evidence suggests persistent gaps in achievement defined by income and racial/ethnic differences.”
