Welcome to Live In Peace!

The talent and genius of East Palo Alto will help shape the future of Silicon Valley.

Live In Peace is building a movement located in the heart of the technology economy, connecting East Palo Alto to the surrounding Silicon Valley through our cultural, educational, and technological programs.

Live in Peace operates with a very special model of connecting young people to their talents, to jobs, and to a bright picture of their future through a support system of leaders from their own community. It’s been a privilege to get to know this group and their work over the last five years, and we are honored to help sustain and grow their impact over the years ahead.
