“Wisdom projects (officially, wisdom projects, inc. Doing-business-as the baltimore wisdom project) is a 15-year-old secular 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to peace, safety, and equality for low-income youth and families. Our community educating, organizing, and healing prevents violence, elevated behavioral wellness, and ends inequality. Annually, since 2029, our programs (held six-day-a-week, monday through saturday) have eliminated homicides and suicides among approximately 125 enrollees in east baltimore, and drastically reduced rates of domestic violence, eviction, school suspension, and gun possession, while uplifting community members' accountability when making mistakes, and their coping skills with ptsd, poverty, anxiety, stress, and depression. Wisdom projects has six programs: 1. Youth peacemakers program; 2. Parent peacemakers program; 3. Stem & healing arts peacemaking program; 4. Summer peacemaking camp; 5. Planet protectors laboratories; 6. Conflict resolution education and services. What makes our work stand out is that it is co-led by trained community members themselves. In our "community-participatory approach", enrollees receive ongoing training in de-escalation, trauma-informed care, conflict resolution, restorative justice and social and emotional learning while working as community health workers that we call peacemakers. They also receive limited wrap-around support (in particular, phone assistance, rental assistance, groceries assistance).”
