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?
What began as an OK You-facilitated cohort of youth leaders has grown into a flexible toolkit that schools and community organizations can use to create their own Inner Peace Corps groups with students grades 3-12.
Designed by OK You in collaboration with educators and school counselors, our Inner Peace Corps guidebook includes facilitation tips and lesson plans for inspiring students to create more OKness in their lives, schools, and communities.
“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, School Counselor
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.
A community of leaders creating ripples of OKness throughout their schools and beyond
Students who participate in the Inner Peace Corps will:
DEVELOP emotional awareness and self-regulation skills
BUILD confidence in creative expression
STRENGTHEN peer connection and empathy
PRACTICE leadership and facilitation skills
CONTRIBUTE to a culture of OKness in their schools and communities
