Every dollar supports our Annual Fund and the youth we serve. ๐
This year brought real challenges โ financial, social, and environmental. To keep our programs alive when youth needed them most, we made a bold decision:
Tools for Peace is now a fully volunteer-run organization, including our Executive Director. The transition hasnโt been easy, but the impact has been extraordinary.
Because of our community, we accomplished so much:
๐ Reached 800+ middle school students with twice-weekly SEL programs
๐ Continued serving LA schools through our partnership with L.A.C.E.R.
๐ Provided 30 camp scholarships
๐ Heard from teens experiencing more confidence, connection, creativity, and the freedom to be themselves
Even with a volunteer team, essential costs remain โ camp facilities and supplies, scholarships, curriculum development, and community outreach.
Your support today helps us:
๐ Sustain teen leadership programs and youth camps
๐ Expand family and community workshops
๐ Ensure scholarships so no teen is turned away
๐ Build a resilient, sustainable future for Tools for Peace
Our teens say it best:
๐ฃ๏ธ โOne of the safest places to be vulnerable.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ โPeaceful, relaxing, and sweet.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ โGives me tools I use every day.โ
