Advocates for Student Safety
PEACE OUTside Campus is a non-profit organization dedicated to the memory of Lindsey M. Bonistall.
Our mission is to promote peaceful and safe living environments in college communities. Our goal is to empower students and their families to be proactive in safeguarding themselves against crime.
To mirror Lindsey's peaceful spirit, our goal is not to create a culture of fear; but rather, to build a sense of empowerment, strength and security.
Lindsey's Legacy
May 1st is a day that friends and family of Lindsey Bonistall will never forget. As we mourn the horrendous loss of Lindsey’s life on this day, we are also comforted by the incredible legacy created in her memory…PEACE OUTside Campus, The Lindsey M. Bonistall Foundation.
Since its inception in July 2005, PEACE OUTside Campus has advocated for student safety and shared its message with over 15,000 students, parents and educators through our in-person programs such as Teens 'N Transition and Identify the Risk. Those numbers don’t include the thousands of community members who have attended our outreach events, locally and nationwide via our college-based chapters. We continue to offer on-line resources such as Living Off-Campus 101 and Off-Campus Housing Guidelines. Families have shared that our online resources have provided them with invaluable information and prompted important discussions with their college bound students around safety both on and off college campuses.
When we started PEACE OUTside Campus almost 17 years ago, there were no independent non-profits with a mission to promote overall off-campus safety. Through the years, increasing violence against students on and off college campuses has resulted in more available resources, both publicly and privately. We remain committed to help generate the best evidence-based programming. Through our Research Fellowship program, we are providing post-doctoral grants to individuals whose work echoes our mission, notably in underserved and marginalized college communities and groups. In addition, we are increasing our collaboration with like-minded non-profits, such as the College Safety Coalition, to facilitate student safety through knowledge and empowerment.
We thank you for your past support and would welcome any contribution to the future of our Foundation!
