Experience the Movement in Action
Our events bring together students, educators, partners, and community members to celebrate leadership, deepen learning, and build peace.
Empower: Annual Gala for Peace and Justice
Celebrating Peacemakers. Inspiring Change.
Each fall, the Western Justice Center community comes together to honor the changemakers who advance peace and equity in schools and communities across Los Angeles County. The Empower Gala raises critical funds to sustain WJC’s work and recognizes those who model courage, empathy, and leadership.
ABC's Of Conflict
Training Changemakers for Peacful Schools
ABC’s of Conflict is a four-day, in-person training program for adults working in and with K-12 schools—educators, after-school leaders, PTO members, youth development professionals, and anyone passionate about conflict resolution in education.
Peer Mediation Invitational (PMI)
The Next Generation of Peacemakers Starts Here.
Every February, hundreds of student mediators and educators gather for the Peer Mediation Invitational — a transformative day of youth leadership, learning, and connection. Students put conflict resolution skills into practice, meet mentors, and celebrate the power of dialogue over division.
Building a Culture of Peace
At Western Justice Center, every event is an opportunity to connect people, share stories, and strengthen the movement for peace and justice.
From the Empower Gala to the Peer Mediation Invitational, we honor those who inspire change and support young people leading transformation in their schools and communities.
