Safe Youth.

Violent crime in Tacoma has nearly doubled in the last 12 months. Now, more than ever before, youth in our community need safe spaces to live and thrive. The Safe Youth campaign is a collective effort to increase opportunities, civic engagement, and overall quality of life for the young people in our city. Our goal is to:

Reduce racial disparities by developing leadership skills among youth and fostering a sense of community
Increase quality out of school time learning opportunities
Increase civic engagement among youth and trust in public institutions in Tacoma
Increase positive public perception of safety and overall quality of life

Seeds of Peace brings youth together to help build a better community, amplify youth voice, and gain skills that lead to change. The youth-led Seeds of Peace street team is activating a series of pop-up events through the summer to engage, inform, and connect young people on issues that matter most to them.
