“When students allow negative comments to lead them, they are allowing others to drive their car. During the Power of Peace Program, we teach them to take control of their lives. 'Don't be a passenger. Drive your OWN car.'”

Watch Us in Action

“Power of Peace is a program that allows young people to have a safe environment to talk about the issues in their lives and learn from them.” ~Michael Arterberry

Over the course of two full days, students attend the Power of Peace Level 1 workshop at their school, participating in a variety of exercises that help them open up to others while delving into their inner personalities. By the end of day two, a remarkable transformation is evident. Students and teachers alike realize they have more in common with each other than not. The proof is in the smiles!

Please refer to our Power of Peace page to learn more about the program, and contact Youth Voices Center if you are interested in having Michael Arterberry visit your school or center.
