About the Be the Peace - Be the Hope platform

OUR MISSION

We provide elementary, middle and high-schools students (with a specific focus on underserved, low-income, and minority students, including new immigrants and refugees) and their teachers the social and emotional learning and character-building workshops/in-class programs to develop competencies that allow them to increase their well-being and academic performance and become contributing members of the community. 

Competencies include self-management, self-reliance, healthy relationships, responsible decision-making, and leadership.


  Since 2015, we have been seeking to address the negative social, emotional, and environmental factors that have impacted students throughout Houston in low-income, under-served and at-risk communities and that have continued to contribute to their trauma, disengagement, delinquency, and academic failure. 

WHY ARE WE COMMITTED TO SERVE?

 Today, our students face many challenges and are hurting and struggling. These young students usually do not have the skills to deal with these challenges, including problems at home such as lack of resources or support, isolation, and abuse, to challenges at schools such as isolation, bullying, racial inequity, academic challenges (finding time to study, understanding course content and maintaining a high degree of motivation), structural violence, …etc.. They are overwhelmed by the emotions generated by these challenges.


The Be the Peace - Be the Hope platform, and programs provide these skills to students ages 7 to 22 and their teachers. The results are changed lives that domino 

into the family and often through many at the school and in the community.  There is Hope for the Future!

Professional Development

 We believe that collective change starts with individual change. The first step for sustainable and meaningful change in our schools is a shift in our mindsets- to truly see beyond limitations and harness the power of our brain, our strengths and anchor our work in our hearts and deepest “why” to be able to move the needle for our students and the entire school community.
