For more than 30 years, Kit has studied human behavior in some of the most challenging environments imaginable, including schools, prisons, juvenile justice systems, churches, athletic programs, corporations, and communities struggling with violence and division. His work has taken him into more than 100 prisons and correctional facilities, over 100 schools and youth- serving organizations, and communities across the United States and around the world. Kit is best known for launching the Power of Peace movement from a Georgia maximum- security prison in 2010, where he brought together rival gang leaders in a groundbreaking 40-day experiment based on the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolence philosophy. The initiative produced historic results and became the foundation for a leadership system that has since impacted thousands of lives. Today, POPP operates at the intersection of education, justice, law enforcement, faith, business, and community leadership. Through programs such as Protect the Dream, Forty Days to Freedom, Forty Days of Prayer, and the Power of Peace Leadership System, Kit helps communities create sustainable ecosystems that address the root causes of violence while building hope, opportunity, and accountability. His work has been implemented in schools, juvenile courts, detention centers, churches, police departments, athletic programs, and correctional institutions throughout the United States and internationally. In one Michigan maximum-security prison, a two-year Power of Peace initiative graduated more than 1,000 incarcerated men and contributed to a reduction in violence of more than 50 percent. Kit is the author of seven books, including Peace Behind the Wire, The New Convict Code, Protect the Dream, and The Power of Peace. He has spoken to audiences ranging from Fortune 500 companies and sports organizations to educators, law enforcement leaders, elected officials, faith communities, and incarcerated populations. His current focus is helping communities become "POPP Communities.” These are unified ecosystems where educators, law enforcement, justice agencies, churches, businesses, nonprofits, and citizens work together around a shared vision to create safer communities and better outcomes for young people. POPP is building “Beloved Communities” which was Dr. King’s dream. 1:45p Volunteer: KSU CARE Services Pantry Restock Day A food pantry helps college students by providing access to free food and essential items, supporting students who may be facing food insecurity while balancing school, work, and personal expenses.

And they need volunteers! We are looking for volunteers to help us sort and organize clothing as donations come in. Volunteer hours will be 10:45 AM–1:00 PM, and the primary responsibility will be sorting clothing by size, gender, and category as it arrives. This would be a great opportunity for high school students who need community service hours. Clothing Swap Georgia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, making this a meaningful way for students to give back while helping local families. Important: Volunteers ages 10–15 must have a parent present with them at the event at all times. We would also be incredibly grateful if you could share this opportunity with your students, parents, fellow teachers, staff, and school community. We want to make sure that families know that free clothing will be available to them at this event. Thank you so much for helping us spread the word and for supporting an opportunity that can make a real difference for families in our community. Every volunteer and every person who shares this information helps us reach more people who may need it.
