Why
We
Exist
The Present Reality
In Nashville's low-income neighborhoods, violence is an everyday fact of life. Gangs recruit the young, stealing their childhood and, often, their life—creating a public health issue for all Nashvillians. Homicide is today the No. 1 cause of death among African-American boys ages 10-24.
Nashville Peacemakers is working to raise children on truth, giving them a vision for their future before they are lost forever.
Different on purpose
a permanenT Home for Peace
In 2014, Nashville Peacemakers began serving youth and families from a house that quickly became more than a building. It became a safe and welcoming place where young people found mentorship, mothers found support, and hope took root.
When storm damage forced us to leave in 2019, we did not know whether we would ever return.
Today, Nashville Peacemakers has come home. The same house where so much of our work began has been restored and is now our permanent location—the foundation for the next chapter of our service to the community.
Help us keep this permanent place of peace, mentorship, healing, and opportunity serving Nashville’s youth and families for years to come.
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the lord, and he will repay him for his deed.”
