The Peace Outreach Program, a nationally recognized arts education initiative, fulfills a critical part of The Peace Center’s overall mission. Each year, the program serves nearly 55,000 students, teachers and community members from across Upstate South Carolina, as well as parts of Georgia and Western North Carolina through its youth performance series, community outreach events and professional development programs for educators.

The largest single component of the Peace Outreach Program is the annual performance series for public, private and home-school groups. These curriculum-based programs help students experience literature, history, and science through the performing arts, giving them a whole new way to think about what they’re learning in school. For every show, the Education department creates a study guide with pre and post show activities, lesson plans and information about the performance.
