Peace, and a warm welcome to TKF – a place where Peace and kids rule the

At TKF, we want to build a new culture of "young peacemakers" to help create a world without violence. That includes you and your friends — there’s room for everyone on PlanetPeace. We’re hoping you’ll spend some time here learning about the powerful TKF story and sharing what you think with us. So, stay awhile, soak in some Peace, and pass it on…

Students Speak Out
"I'm glad that you've chosen to forgive because now you have taught
me that we can forgive others who have mistreated us." - VIF Student
"I am in the TKF "Circle of Peace." Our major goal is to spread peace around our school and to other students. We also help TKF with some of their projects and give them our point of view. I enjoy being in this group because I think we can really do something about the violence in kids today." - Sasha Boubion, 8th grader, Farb Middle School
