Our juniors and seniors in the Peers United for Leadership, Service, and Equity (PULSE) Pathway have been participating in Nonviolence Training workshops where they are learning about nonviolent communication skills as well as the history of nonviolence as a way to create positive socially just change in the world. We have been collaborating with the East Point Peace Academy based in Oakland, who teach in the tradition of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. all around the world. These workshops have been incredible powerful these past 2 school years. We feel so fortunate to be doing this work with these young people, who we trust to inherit the world after us. While we have done our own separate fundraising to host these workshops. It is in all honesty a adult-level course that is adapted for young people. So we would like to use these funds to provide supplies for all the group activities they will be doing, as well as provide some snacks and drinks to help keep them engaged for a prolonged seminar. Thank you!
