The Hands Project (ongoing)

Participants in Circles of Light programs share their hand prints in an island-wide collection, sent as appropriate. Participants take the pledge to "Not use my hands or words to hurt myself or others." They trace their hands and sign the pledge.

Toddler Thursdays

Women in Development (ongoing)

Women in Development is an international organization based in Armenia focusing on issues facing women and youth. They have created a peace-education project which is taught in schools and educational centers. Circles of Light is partnering with them to offer local youth opportunities to become pen pals with youth in Armenia.

World Peace Project for Children (ongoing)

Circles of Light sent origami paper cranes and a booklet of art and writing by youth to this organization, which connects children internationally on peace-based projects. The origami cranes are added to those sent from children in other countries, to be mailed in collections of 1,000 to areas in the world in need of peace.
