Kindness and Understanding for

A More Productive Work and Educational Environment

Our Goals

One of our primary goals is to create organizations and teams with more empathy, create better insight within teams, and increase the comfort level of diverse teams in working with each other.

More About Us

Peace in Action helps connect people from the pre-pandemic era, throughout the pandemic, and helps them emerge into a post pandemic working environment.

Who We Are

Peace in Action is an educational firm providing workshops, classes and programs to help our clients create workplaces and study spaces that are more open, civil, welcoming, and inclusive.  The curriculum and material were created by two university professors to create a safe space to talk about racism, sexism and LGBT issues.

What We Do

We work to see everyone become kinder and more understanding towards each other in healthier work or school environments. We build bridges between the confusion of hate and the clarity of acceptance for people to become more productive and successful through workshops or classes, whether virtual or in-person.

Why We Do It

We want to help people to talk about change, and to understand different issues not with criticism but with clarity and knowledge. Where do the issues stem from? How do we go forward in peace? We want everyone to be a little nicer, to be more aware, more productive and more comfortable in their work or school lives.

Our Principles and Passions

If we cannot openly talk about it – we cannot change it. So let’s talk about it.  We can facilitate the hard conversations and supply the tools that are necessary to address issues such as racism and ethnicity, sexism (including domestic violence/teen dating violence/sexual assault) and LGBT issues, while addressing the intersectionality of voting, immigration, classism, poverty, and an introduction to white supremacy and white nationalism.

Our founders, Professors Budd and Scillieri, have over 30 years’ experience in teaching Sociology, Political Science, Philosophy, Gender Studies and Media, as well as English through a diverse lens. Professor Scillieri has conducted faculty trainings on LGBT issues and has advocated and spoken worldwide on issues of gender based violence. Professor Scillieri is also a Certified Life Coach. Professor Budd has developed custom operational and training materials for groups and workplaces.
