| 4 | 5 7:30 North Cobb County: Protect the Dream - Kit Cummings
Guest  Kit Cummings Founder & CEO, The Power of Peace Project (POPP) Human Behavior Strategist | Community Systems Architect | Conflict Culture Specialist Kit is an award-winning author, international keynote speaker, human behavior strategist, and the Founder & CEO of The Power of Peace Project (POPP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing violence, strengthening communities, and developing transformational leaders. 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. | 6 11:15 Thomasville: 61st Annual Larry Frosteg Pelham International Student Weekend Annual Larry Frosteg Pelham International Student Weekend: November 5-8, 2026 Friday, Nov. 6 is dedicated to Thomasville activities Thomasville Rotary Club members are asked to volunteer to participate at Pebble Hill The scholars begin their Thomasville experience on Friday at Gentian Creek, hosted by Marta Jones-Turner; then travel to Pebble Hill Plantation for lunch with Thomasville Rotarians and learn from Will Watt III about the founding of GRSP by his grandfather, William A.

And they need volunteers! We are looking for volunteers to help us sort and organize clothing as donations come in.

We would also be incredibly grateful if you could share this opportunity with your students, parents, fellow teachers, staff, and school community.
