Peace Learning Center - building peace for healthy communities
 
 

Peace Learning Center (PLC) is an Indianapolis-based community educational institution promoting healthy learning, workplace and community environments. PLC establishes safe and common ways to address differences and promotes processes to help build community and healthy communication for youth, parents and professionals. Started in 1997 in Eagle Creek Park, PLC has reached more than 130,000 people locally and internationally.

Our youth programs have been recognized by the Indianapolis Crime Prevention Task Force report as "a local 'best practice' that has demonstrated the effectiveness of teaching young adults and at-risk youth creative ways of resolving conflicts, personal responsibility, and character building."  The task force recommends an expansion of PLC middle and high school programs, as well as more work in juvenile justice.  After an extensive three-year research project, Indiana University’s Center for Urban and Multicultural Education has found that Peace Learning Center’s curriculum and programs are “researched-based best practices that are proven effective” (Crayton and Helfenbein, 2008).
