There is a local effort afoot to bring Peacejam training to Columbus. The training and curriculum are provided free through Peacejam. This training is a one-day six-hour training geared to adults who have four or more high school-aged students to work with. One-year commitment of at least 1½ hours per week is expected. Ideal for high school teachers, after school groups, youth groups, agencies that serve youth, faith-based youth groups or individuals with four or more high school aged youth to work with. There is also an elementary curriculum (classroom-based) training available. Anyone interested in the training, contact Lezlie at 614-443-6334. We only need 20 people!
