Youth Initiative
Bringing families together for a stronger community
Peace partners and participates in the Youth Initiative program. It’s a mentorship program designed to help a young person from the Richland Middle School and their entire family. The youth and their family are paired with another family who have a stable, firm, and grounded understanding of what it takes to raise a family, juggle the stress of everyday life, have strong communication skills and are committed to a local church. The goal is to create stronger family units that can strengthen the community. For more information visit THIS website.

They can help newcomers find their way around, open doors, and are available to serve you however needed. It is a great ministry for people with the gift of hospitality!
