Peacemakers

About Peacemakers

We believe every child has unlimited potential. At Peacemakers, we partner with Harlem’s public elementary and middle schools to help unlock that potential in all scholars.

Peacemakers works with P.S. 197, P.S./I.S. 76, PS 154, and P.S. 149 to provide in-school and after-school support, as well as summer programming, to nearly 3,000 students annually.

Peacemakers prioritizes relationships — with scholars, families, and educators to provide the supports needed to help our young people be their best selves.
