About City at Peace
City at Peace is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that empowers teenagers to create safe, healthy, peaceful lives and communities. Using the performing arts as a vehicle, City at Peace is developing the next generation of engaged community leaders.

City at Peace operates year long programs that bring together vastly diverse groups of youth from all over a city. They go through an intense year long creative process through which they write an original musical whose stories come from their lives and their ideas for a better world. They also create community change projects where they take those ideas and act on them in their city.

City at Peace envisions a society where teenagers are valued, respected and play a leading role in creating vibrant communities.

"City at Peace has equipped me with the ability to interact with people of all backgrounds, has taught me how to act professionally in certain arenas, and taught team building exercises that will always embed a sense of interdependence in me for any future projects I embark upon.” -Quentin, 18, City at Peace-Baton Rouge, LA
