We Work With

High Schools and Universities

Ignite Peace brings unique educational opportunities to the classroom with our interactive presentations, docuseries screenings, and other adaptable and engaging curriculum. If you’re a teacher or student, contact us to bring a presentation or workshop to your school. We are excited to raise awareness, literacy, and understanding of important issues of criminal justice and immigration justice among young people in our community.

Faith Communities

Ignite Peace was founded by five congregations of Sisters with a call for justice. We know that for many, moral convictions are tied deeply to faith and move them to work for peace and justice. We work with people of all faiths to provide education on justice issues and ways to take action. Whether you are clergy or a lay person, we encourage you to connect your community with Ignite Peace. Talk to us about hosting an educational event for your membership or ways to take action as a group for systemic change.

Nonprofits, Organizations, and Groups

We know that there is power to be found in connecting with others and sharing knowledge and resources. Our workshops can be tailored to your staff or volunteers for professional development, to deepen your understanding of an issue, or to prepare your group to take strategic nonviolent action. 

We also work in coalition and solidarity with many organizations including advocacy groups and direct service providers to achieve our shared goals. We are proud to be a part of the No Death Penalty Ohio coalition and to facilitate the Immigrant Dignity Coalition. If you are part of an organization whose mission aligns with peace and justice, reach out to see how we can work together.

Passionate Individuals

From being a pen pal, to organizing a letter writing campaign, to setting up an educational presentation, to joining protests, or engaging in dialogue with leaders and fellow community members, individuals have the power to create change. Nonviolence creates space for everyone to take part in the movement toward justice. Check out our upcoming events page to get involved in one of our policy campaigns, join a community event, or sign up for a nonviolence training.
