Peace
The Texas Peace Project is a dedicated Community Violence Intervention and Public Safety organization focused on transforming high-risk communities through comprehensive, supportive, and proactive measures. Our mission is to address the root causes of violence and enhance public safety by providing high-risk community members with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to build better lives for themselves and their families.
Our Approach

- Training and Education: We provide tailored training programs and educational resources that equip individuals with the skills necessary to succeed in today’s job market. From vocational training to GED preparation and higher education support, we are committed to helping our community members achieve their educational and career goals.

From health fairs to neighborhood clean-ups and cultural festivals, our events promote positive community engagement.
