This future can be our reality, if schools are provided with the necessary resources to create safe and productive learning environments for our community's children. We are a federated group representing school violence prevention programs throughout Minnesota. We are a vehicle that people, companies, foundations, governmental units, and other interested organizations can use to strengthen school violence prevention efforts their area.

During the 2007-2008 school year:

• *10,310 students benefited from the generosity of our donors
• *8,248 students participated in bullying prevention programs
• *7,517 students were taught to respect themselves and others
• *7,149 students were taught conflict resolution skills

“I learned that bullying doesn’t have to be with words or physically. It can also be ignoring or leaving someone out. Those are also hurtful even if you don’t realize it.”

“A student told me she hates me because of my religion. I felt bad. Now I know that I can stand up for myself and help others understand more about me.”

“What I learned in conflict management is that it is a conscious decision to live your life a certain way.”

“I learned how to control my anger. I also learned how harmful bullying and cheating can be to others. Thank you for teaching me this."

Help us expand our reach so that all schools in the State of Minnesota have the resources to teach kids how to resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner. Thank you for your interest in the Peace Maker Foundation!
