A message from the founder
“There are other ways to mediate anger and bring things down. We want to show them this, and not only preach and talk to them but give them jobs and show them opportunities, talk to them about careers and being owners of things. So, change the mindset, that’s the goal of it because we feel that, like I’ve said many times when you know better you do better.”
— Shawn Hunter, Founder and President of the Lynchburg Peacemakers
