THE MISSION
The Friends for Good mission is to support youth and their families to create more peaceful communities one friendship at a time.
In the face of violence, hatred and injustice, we connect youth and families from across religious and social divides and give them tools to be agents of change. Our vision is to create a local movement of peaceful people, peace leaders, and activists who transform divided relationships and not yet relationships into friendships.
Furthermore, we are dedicated to building positive, working relationships with a broad range of partners, while exploring the commonalities of our differing religions and cultures. We strive to foster the understanding, philosophical acceptance, and respect needed to create a culture of peace and positive change.
INTERFAITH HARMONY CAMP
Back in 2016 Friends for Good (formally Kids4Peace) hosted its first ever Interfaith Day Camp. Since that joyful week youth have been learning about different faith traditions every summer. They visit various houses of worship, engage in dialogue around a host of relevant topics, and learn ways they can create peace! Meets daily 9am-5pm for one week toward the end of July / beginning of August. Registration opens in the spring.
ELEMENTARY PROGRAMS
TEEN PROGRAMS
Our teen programs offer unique gatherings for students in 6-12 grade. Our events are all about bringing together friends from diverse backgrounds for food, fun, and a chance to make a real difference. We often partner with Wordplay Cincy to offer unique workshops and exciting events throughout the year.

Our elementary program is designed for kids ages 5 through 10 with room to include older and younger children. We provide a fun and engaging space for kids to play, do art projects, and learn about peace work. Our sessions are held at Ish in Northside, and we also offer a variety of special outings for kids and their parents. This program opens the door for younger kids to run right in and get involved.
