Overview:
On Earth Peace (OEP) is a nonprofit organization that develops and walks with leaders and communities who work for justice and peace, using the spiritual and practical disciplines of active nonviolence, community building, and conflict transformation.
We provide Kingian Nonviolence internships that equip young adults/students through direct training, skill development, and application in organizing experiences.

OEP fosters and supports these initiatives through mentorship, consultation, training, and other resources.
Our work touches churches and community groups, youth and young adults, and individuals of all ages. OEP is an agency of the Church of the Brethren, an Historic Peace Church.
