Making a difference in the lives of our youth and community.
About
We Push for Peace is a nonprofit organization that was started by Trahern Pollard to be a resource and advocate to those in the inner city. On a broader scale, our mission is in the name of the organization “We Push for Peace”. When there is an injustice in our community that is seen, we need to be able to step up, lead the way and help facilitate the change that is needed.
Please check out Instagram for some of our work in the community as well as our photo section.

Speaking Engagements
Having the opportunity to speak my truth, share my passion for creating assistance for all in the community, along with much needed change is what gives me great joy. Working with our young people, our future leaders, who will make a difference in this world inspires me tremendously. If you are in need of a speaker, with the same message I bring, please email or call me to arrange.
