Our Partners
We are proud to work alongside organizations that share our commitment to building thriving communities.
St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore
St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore is a leading provider of community services, including six fully credentialed Head Start centers that offer early childhood education and family support to help children and families build a strong foundation for lifelong success. Through our SpREAD the Word initiative, The PEACES Collective partners with St. Vincent de Paul by providing home libraries for children and hosting Story Time events throughout the year to foster a lifelong love of reading.
Do Good Institute
The Do Good Institute's Impact Interns Program connects talented students with mission-driven internships while helping nonprofit and social impact organizations build capacity through emerging professionals. As a proud host organization, The PEACES Collective provides interns with meaningful, hands-on experience that strengthens their professional skills while expanding our ability to serve children, families, and communities.
Windsor Forest Basic School
Windsor Forest Basic School is an early childhood institution located in the rural community of Windsor Forest, East Portland, Jamaica. For more than 70 years, the school has provided a strong educational foundation for preschool children and served as a vital resource for local families. After closing during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the school fell into disrepair before being restored through the dedication of community volunteers and supporters. In September 2025, Windsor Forest Basic School proudly reopened its doors, welcoming approximately 30 preschool children back to the classroom. The PEACES Collective is honored to support the school's renewed mission by providing a new school library, helping foster a love of reading and lifelong learning for generations of young learners.
