Located in the West Side of Chicago, North Lawndale College Prepatory High School is located in a community long plagued by violence. Yet, a group of students and supportive faculty, trained in “Kingian Non-violence”, helped reduce incidences of violence at the school. Rather than focusing on the absence of violence, this “peace warrior” program focused on building a culture of peace at the school. As a result of the program, the school principal was able to use resources formerly spent on metal detectors and security guards to fund leadership and academic programs. For More Information.
