About the Where Peace Lives organization
Incorporated and headquartered
in Red Bank, NJ, in 2006, Where Peace Lives, Inc. was brought into
existence to serve as a catalyst for forwarding the conversation for peace
around the world. Founding members Donna
Clapp, Jeff Clapp, and Jeff Rudy saw a need for bringing together
their desire to make a difference and their combined talents to make it
happen. "We are inspiring a generation of peace," says Jeff
Clapp, Program Director. "Instilling a context for a future that
creates a new possibility—a culture of peace that is alive and real
for everyone. We see that future arising through young people. Our organization
is committed that the lives of the children and young adults we work with
will never be the same. We choose to make our personal business peace
for humanity." (Photo
