An agency official with the Greensboro City Community Safety Department said the department has launched the "100 Days of Peace" summer campaign to provide safe spaces and activities for children and youth across Greensboro. The campaign is scheduled to run June 5 through Sept. 13 and will involve community-based organizations and city departments working together to host events and programs.
The official said the campaign is a violence-prevention effort aimed at reducing summer harm and keeping young people engaged in supervised activities. Organizers described the initiative as collaborative: multiple events will be hosted by various community groups and city departments throughout Greensboro.
Residents are invited to sign the Peace Pledge online; the announcement directed people to visit greensboro-nc.gov and search "Peace Pledge" for more information. No funding amounts, participating organizations' names, or detailed schedules were provided in the announcement.
The campaign runs through Sept. 13; organizers encouraged families and community groups to check the city website for event listings and additional participation details.
