On Earth Peace focuses on helping people, groups, and communities work with the discipline of "Kingian Nonviolence Conflict Reconciliation" to bring about personal and societal change.

We work mostly with students and young adults, online communities of peace and justice minded individuals, and churches who see justice and peace as central to their calling and ministry.

Kingian Nonviolence

Kingian Nonviolence (KNV) is a philosophy and methodology -- with knowledge, skills, and motivation people can use to apply peaceful strategies for solving personal and community problems.

On Earth Peace offers a range of trainings and consultations -- in person and online to dozens of Kingian Nonviolence concepts and techniques:

• 2-hour introductions
• 16-hour CORE Training
• Training of Trainers

All of our programs include KNV and can be adapted to youth programs.

Church and Community Groups Organizing 

We also continue to offer a wider range of services to community organizing and Church of the Brethren congregations that we have historically provided to help with their unique commitments for justice and peace.

Our organizing projects include, but are not limited to:

• Gun Violence Prevention– Church of the Brethren
• Standing with People of Color– Church of the Brethren
• Affinity Groups

OEP also serves as fiscal sponsor for affiliated peace and justice projects that do not have their own tax-exempt status. Contact [email protected] to ask about this for your project.

Children, Youth and Young Adult Peace Formation

While we work with all kinds of individuals, institutions, and groups, our OEP staff and community have special experience in working with children, youth, and young adults.

We have a thriving paid internship program where college age leaders -- whether or not they are in college, and college students of any age -- can develop lifelong commitment, capacity, and community for working for justice and peace, no matter their ultimate vocation.

We also have community engagement grants for youth groups to apply for up to $500 in funding to support a youth-initiated project for peace and justice in your local community. This program also provides learning webinars in nonviolence, leadership, and anti-racism/anti-oppression.

Also, OEP has created various resources related to justice and peace for children and youth. 

If you have a passion for building justice and peace, we can help you succeed in your work.
