About Us

The mission of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute is clear; to create and support an environment where families can live in Peace and Unity.

Our Goals and Objectives are three fold:

(1.) Schools: To develop programs and activities that teach and instill the values of peace and enrich the lives of young people.

(2.) Families: To assist and empower survivors of homicide victims with tools that not only rebuild their lives but also their communities; through Education, Collaboration, and Policy Advocacy.

(3.) Community: To inform and educate the public about the causes and the consequences of violence on the individual, the family and the community, while transforming the community into an environment where young people are valued by adults and by their peers the for their peacemaking efforts.

Our Philosophy: Simple yet complex; to reach people, no matter where they are on their journey, in order to assist them and their families to become more involved in the change process.

Our Core Principles: Love, Unity, Faith, Hope, Courage, Justice and Forgiveness.

Our Foundation: Is built upon Peace and within this foundation we have a strong commitment to work with families (both victims and offenders)

Our approach: is to listen, acknowledge, mobilize and collaborate with the community at large.

“By keeping our doors open, our lines clear, and our support readily available, we are working to alleviate the survivors’ human instincts of retaliation and revenge.”

According to Matthew 18:19-20, Jesus says “Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”

This is our opportunity for the Church leaders, the congregation, youth groups, the community base organizations, The public officials, the schools, the academic institutions and the overall community to gather together in agreement for Peace. It shows that the community has faith in God and that together, through him, we can speak Peace into our lives. John 14:27 "I leave my peace with you. I give my peace to you. I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be troubled. And do not be afraid.
