About

our mission

The mission of Tools for Peace is to inspire kindness and compassion in everyday life. Our mindfulness-based social-emotional learning programs support mental health, academic and professional success, and community health and wellbeing. Studies show that the Tools for Peace curriculum improves focus, conflict resolution skills, and confidence, and reduces stress in participants.

who we serve

Through our School-Based Programs, Summer Teen Camp, and Compassionate Leadership Program, we serve 1,500 elementary through high school students in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) each year. The majority of LAUSD students (74%) identify as Latino, and 60% of LAUSD students come from families earning less than $40,000 per year.

Our Public Mindfulness Programs include workshops, series, and retreats available to everyone
