Admission is free and the public is invited.
Having arrived at a crucial dissatisfaction with this traditional journalist approach, McCarthy went to the high school nearest his downtown office and volunteered his services as a peace educator. That first step led to his designing curricula for non- violence and conflict resolution that have been used by 30 high schools, colleges and universities and a state prison in Virginia. These syllabi are distributed through McCarthy's Center for Teaching Peace in Washington, D.C., a non-profit organization which includes such figures as Harvard University psychiatrist Robert Coles, Marion Wright Edelman of the Children's Defense Fund, Joan Baez, Fr. Richard McSorley, SJ, of Georgetown University and former Senator Mark Hatfield on its advisory board. Included in the syllabi are a home study course as well as an eight-lesson course of studies for classrooms.
