Inspiring peaceful communities means building healthy relationships through reconciliation, restoration, creation care, and building understanding locally and cross-culturally. It includes supporting faith-based counselling, restorative justice, and family violence prevention programs in our communities. The Peace Innovators Scholarship & Mentoring Program is an example of a unique program that reflects this element of Kindred’s purpose.
