About Peace Games
Peace Games is a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) public benefit corporation dedicated to ending the escalated trend of violence in this country by teaching children to become peacemakers in their schools and communities. Peace Games began at Harvard University in 1992 as an annual festival where children gathered to play cooperative games and share their dreams of peace. The organization was formally incorporated in Boston in December 1996 under the direction of Eric D. Dawson, the current President. Peace Games was founded on a simple belief: violence is learned; and if violence can be learned, so can the skills of peacemaking. We now serve children in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
