Every dollar supports our Annual Fund and the youth we serve. 💛

This year brought real challenges — 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 hasn’t been easy, but the impact has been extraordinary.

Because of our community, we accomplished so much:
🌟 Reached 800+ middle school students with twice-weekly SEL programs
🌟 Continued serving LA schools through our partnership with L.A.C.E.R.
🌟 Provided 30 camp scholarships
🌟 Heard from teens experiencing more confidence, connection, creativity, and the freedom to be themselves

Even with a volunteer team, essential costs remain — camp facilities and supplies, scholarships, curriculum development, and community outreach.

Your support today helps us:
💛 Sustain teen leadership programs and youth camps
💛 Expand family and community workshops
💛 Ensure scholarships so no teen is turned away
💛 Build a resilient, sustainable future for Tools for Peace

Our teens say it best:
🗣️ “One of the safest places to be vulnerable.”
🗣️ “Peaceful, relaxing, and sweet.”
🗣️ “Gives me tools I use every day.”

If you believe in compassion, belonging, and empowering the next generation, we invite you to stand with us:
