Welcome to the Creating Peaceful Schools Website!

The Mt. Diablo Peace & Justice Center was established in 1969 as a focal point in the East Bay where the community could gather to create a "local voice for peace and justice".  ​

Creating Peaceful Schools is a program of the Center.  Its purpose is to work with the schools to encourage  a culture of peace through education, advocacy, and community building. 

​Currently we have two efforts to engage middle and high school students.  Please click on the following links for information specific to the 2025 Art & Writing Challenge  and the 2025 Youth Activism Grant Awards. 

We'd love to hear your ideas on these programs and other suggestions you might have!
