In-School Programs

LFFP teaches mindfulness, empathy, anger management, conflict resolution and self-empowerment during in-school specials across the DC-VA-MD area. LFFP's programs help interrupt the culture of violence that has become prevalent in our schools and our culture at large. Students build self-esteem, combat bullying, learn how to work together to solve problems, and help transform their schools into peaceful and collaborative communities.

Although my children are small, they come to school with a big lack of peace in their lives. Many children suffer from neglect and/or abuse in their homes, and when they come to school they lack the practical skills needed to resolve conflict. Last year, LFFP came to my class to discuss Martin Luther King and other peacemakers. Through many visits and different lessons of peace, my students were able to begin practicing peace. Gentle reminders were needed, but the children soon took on the language of the Peace Train and began using skills they had learned from MJ, Jerry and LFFP.
