Who We Are
Mission: To bring peace to communities by helping children practice peacemaking through cooperative play, loving relationships, and creative expression.
Creative Peacemakers is an after-school art & peacemaking enrichment experience for children K-4. It is sponsored by St.Matthias Episcopal Church serving children from the Deaverview Apartment Community. We provide opportunities for nurture, healing, empowerment, and building resilience. We offer our program curriculum to other sites.
What We Do
The after-school curriculum promotes peaceful living by using yoga, drawing, weaving, painting, sculpture, dance, music, collage, gardening, cooking, and more. Twice weekly, children engage in activities in a nourishing environment with healthy snacks and opportunities to be creative and to learn the practice of peacemaking. Goals include developing a sense of security, empowerment, and resilience in a loving environment.
