The Stop The Violence Coalition was started by concerned citizens after the tragic shooting of a child in Wilmington, DE.  We seek to encourage a safer city by promoting peace from the inside out. Our aim has been to create programs to help youth and families become better equipped to make choices that are violence-free and life edifying. The Academy for Peace is an arm of the coalition that provides a location for hosting events for organizations with the similar goals.
