Center for Safe Schools and Communities

Welcome to the Center for Safe Schools!

The Center for Safe Schools and Communities is a non profit organization that has taken leadership in developing The Peace4Kids model that is highly effective with at risk youth. This model took its roots from the original Aggression Replacement Training program developed by the late Arnold P. Goldstein from Syracuse University. His program is well-researched, and effective and is used world-wide with delinquent youths and more recently as a social emotional learning model for all kids to teach them the skills they need to become academically and socially successful. The Center offers trainings in the Peace4Kids model. Other trainings we offer include character education, K-12 Model Guidance programs, Restorative Justice, Parent Empowerment, conflict mediation, peer helping, effective discipline programs, grant writing, alternative school development and school-wide character education. Our non-profit organization and our staff is working toward creating a "family" of individuals that improve the way we build social skills and character with children and families. We hope you participate in our mission and volunteer to help us do an even better job creating safe and productive communities!
