📚 Have you donated to The Conflict Center yet this fiscal year? Every donation to TCC helps us reach more kids in schools!

TCC’s Reading for Peace program works in area elementary schools, where volunteers read themed books to students. This past year, volunteers noted that Reading for Peace students felt safe having someone to talk to with no judgment and felt like the volunteers cared about them.
