Peace thru Culture
Welcome to Peace thru Culture (PtC), where we’re dedicated to providing youth with the tools they need to succeed. PtC youth development programs are designed to promote cultural understanding through the arts, civic engagement, language and STEM learning, all while fostering a sense of global awareness.
Our vision is to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the critical thinking skills, cultural competence, and civic engagement necessary to thrive in an interconnected world.
​
All PtC programs support youth development outcomes that include leadership skills, communication skills, social responsibility, self-reliance, and heightened literacy. PtC is committed to empowering youth to cultivate their passions and achieve their full potential.
