About This Event
2026 Peacemaker Academy – Kingian Nonviolence Training
Alive Community Outreach | Fort Wayne, IN
The Peacemaker program in Fort Wayne has proven to be highly effective. It has been adopted by Fort Wayne Community Schools and is currently active in all five high schools, where each year, 60 students are trained as Peacemakers who help transform the school culture toward greater peace and a beloved community.
These trainings are designed for educators, administrators, youth workers, and community leaders who want more than theory—they want a tested, school-based model for addressing conflict and violence. The Peacemaker Academy provides the foundational training, curriculum, and practical tools needed to bring this proven movement into your own school or district and adapt it to your local context. Our traditional Kingian two-day core training is also useful in a wide variety of contexts, and all are welcome to join us.
Level I — Kingian Nonviolence Trainer Certification
5-Day Intensive Training | June 1 – June 5; 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Daily)

(You don't have to have taken the 2-Day Core to take Level I.)
