The National Peace Academy is a nonprofit educational organization that serves as a home for peace professionals, community organizers, and aspiring leaders. Their mission is to provide knowledge and skills to create safe, healthy, and sustainable communities while nurturing positive change on a global scale. The National Peace Academy offers a range of programs and initiatives to address today's societal, institutional, and ecological challenges.

They specialize in restorative justice training, focusing on its application in schools.
