This is the first of our new monthly donation classes. Each month, we will choose a local organization who we believe is doing amazing work in our community. We will collect cash and check donations all month long, and at the end of the month 100% of the funds raised will go to the chosen org.

May’s organization is Richmond Peace Education Center. RPEC’s mission is to build just, inclusive and nonviolent communities through education and action. Since 1980, the Richmond Peace Education Center has been an unwavering voice for peaceful conflict resolution, social justice, and nonviolent social change in the Richmond, Virginia region. Over the years the center has evolved, developing new programs and areas of focus to meet new concerns.

Today the Richmond Peace Education Center is working actively to build a more peaceful and just community and world. Through its workshops, public events, youth programs, and conflict resolution training, RPEC is making a difference in the region. In the past two years alone, the center has organized or co-sponsored nearly 100 events and programs involving thousands of participants, and its impact is growing. Can’t attend the class?
