Our vision is made possible thanks to the dedication and support of our mentors. We offer a variety of opportunities for interested volunteers to serve with us in all of our different programs. These include our after-school and in-school programs, as well as our adult and community-based programs. Volunteers get the chance to learn about peace and conflict resolution, work one on one with youth, and become part of our loving and wonderful LFFP family. Together we create an opportunity for both volunteers and participants to experience, learn, and practice peace.

Mentors are empowered to: 

• Support our participants as they become peacemakers·
• Contribute their talents and interests to develop peace lessons
• Employ nonviolent conflict resolution to serve as role models for others​
