PEACE (Pathways to Emergency & Academy Career Experiences) is a program that supports the pathway for students interested in Justice and Emergency Services Careers. It will offer opportunities for students to participate in:

1. Mini Academies where students gain hands on experience that supports education goals and can lead to justice or emergency careers in the areas of:

        • Policing
        • Fire-fighting
        • Emergency Services
        • Law and Legal Services

2. Have a mentor from police, fire, emergency services or law & legal services to support student’s interest in pursuing a career in those industries.

3. Work in a paid internship to gain experience for future careers, students may be interested in from the justice and emergency services industry.

Participation in PEACE is voluntary but we ask that students:

        • Commit to the program through high school graduation
        • Work with their Check & Connect Case Manager to meet graduation requirements
        • Participate in the program events
