In once-weekly meetings, AHA! equips junior high and middle school students to be inclusive allies and leaders. Students cultivate self-care, emotional intelligence, management, listening skills, mindfulness, and social awareness, and work together to learn to facilitate their own small Connection Circle groups. Current AHA! Peace Builders (supported by AHA! staff) invite students not in the program to participate in lunchtime Connection Circles. Some Peace Builder students also have opportunities to lead circles in classrooms and at faculty/staff meetings.
Along with high school students in the ALLY program, AHA! Peace Builders attend a fall workshop and a spring Mid-Year Conference.
