Hello and welcome to the PEAK website. The Progressive Education and Action in Kern (PEAK) Foundation is a new creation that has been many years in the making. Broadly stated, PEAK is concerned with applying best practices and principles to every function of civic life where we must unite to accomplish a common goal. Whereas some organizations operate on the assumption that dysfunction is primarily caused by individuals, our goal is to analyze systemic issues and offer solutions or alternatives.
We also begin from the point of view that communities are fabrics and that each thread has the power to strengthen or weaken the fabric as a whole. Where one person sees an artists' gathering, we see a group of people that is giving voice to a group within the community. Where another sees a church newsletter, we see a voice informing a different community and building a better world.
At our very best, we work as facilitators to help lengthen the reach of each of these threads and expand and strengthen the whole fabric to include as much of the community as possible. It is a fundamental belief of this organization that a better connected population working with the fewest number of impediments creates vibrant social and political systems and that every contribution to the common good is a step towards a more progressive, inclusive society.
