Soul Shoppe
Our mission is to create safe learning environments that bring forth a culture of compassion, connection and curiosity—eliminating bullying at the roots. Our innovative, interactive and highly effective Soul Shoppe and Peace Makers programs give the entire school community an EXPERIENCE of empathy, transforming not only our behaviors, but the very ways we see each other.
Peace Makers and Soul Shoppe programs support kids by giving conflict resolution tools that allow them to support each other as allies. We have reached more than 470,000 students. In addition to working with students, Soul Shoppe supports our primary grades through the creation and facilitation of dynamic student workshops that give students the necessary tools to foster academic growth and social-emotional learning.
Our student Peace Makers are trained to support student conflict at morning and lunch recess. They use the Peace Path to foster productive conflict resolution between students. This experience of being a Peace Maker adds empathy, kindness, patience and leadership to our Peace Makers' social learning and helps them to be more confident in helping others at school.
