Join us in celebrating the people making San Francisco a more peaceful place. The 2013 Peacemaker Awards will feature:
*a luncheon with the inspiring recipients of this year’s awards
*a silent auction, and
*a keynote address and limited-seating morning workshop by Joan Blades, the co-founder of moveon.org and Living Room Conversations, a project to remind America of the power and beauty of civil discourse.
This is the 3rd annual San Francisco Peacemaker Awards hosted by Community Boards. In honor of the theme “celebrating our common ground,” Joan Blades will share her work building a model of conversation that turns disagreement and distrust into understanding and collaboration. In January, Joan and the co-founder of Tea Party Patriots hosted a living room conversation about the relationship between government and business. There is limited seating for the morning workshop.
This year's Peacemaker Awards celebrate:
John Cathey and David Sands, two Mission district neighborhood police officers who have pioneered a unique approach to help teens leave gangs. While walking their 24th Street beat, they routinely saw teens stuck in a cycle of gang violence and jail time. Realizing that these teens needed an alternative, John and David began connecting them with full-time employment to help them launch promising careers and walk away from the gangs on which they depended. They also started a program to strengthen families of at risk youth and disrupt common gang recruitment tactics that prayed on youth who felt like they lacked a family. Community Boards is thrilled to celebrate their innovative and successful approach to transforming young lives and making San Francisco a more peaceful city.
Dominic Sanchez, who is bringing conflict resolution skills to hundreds of young people throughout his school community with students who attend from all over San Francisco. As a student at Galileo High School, he is a leader of the Restorative Practices Program and developed a workshop to help his peers open up a dialogue between students of different cultures and ethnicities. Dominic also helped develop a program that has reached nearly 500 young men with messages about reducing risky sexual practices and appreciating diversity in sexualities. With this award, Community Boards recognizes Dominic for taking a stand against violence and working to build supportive, respectful youth communities.
The Mosaic Project, a nonprofit organization that works toward a peaceful future by uniting children of diverse backgrounds, providing them with essential community building skills, and empowering them to become peacemakers. Their unique outdoor school and youth leadership programs create microcosms of the just, diverse, inclusive world we envision. For demonstrating that a more peaceful world is possible —and for inspiring young people to work to create that world— Community Boards honors the Mosaic Project with this year’s Leadership Award.
