welcome to the
inner peace corps
Your guide to a year of youth leadership, creativity, wellness & belonging
Ready to turn your classroom, counseling group, youth group, or after school program into an Inner Peace Corps?
The Inner Peace Corps is a youth wellness and leadership program designed by OK You in collaboration with educators and school counselors.
What began as an OK You-facilitated cohort of youth leaders has grown into a flexible, scalable program that schools and community organizations can implement on their own for students grades 3-12.
Creating more OKness together
At a time when young people are navigating increasing stress and disconnection, the Inner Peace Corps offers a space to build resilience, find belonging, and use creative practices to create more OKness in their lives, schools, and communities. More than a program, the Inner Peace Corps is a shared practice of connection, creativity, and care. Each group, each session, and each student contributes to a growing network of young people learning how to navigate their emotions, support one another, and lead with intention.
“Our 4th graders have loved the Inner Peace Corps (IPC). The guidebook has been really helpful. It provides structure but is also flexible, and has choices for students built in!” —Sylvie Bishop, Vernon Elementary
