Potential Exists Far Beyond the Classroom

A child's potential, and ultimately, success, exists far beyond the classroom walls. When we empower our children, we help them to find their confidence and be the best versions of themselves. But, we can’t do that alone. Parents, schools, and communities must work together.

Families  Community Matters

Your Story is Our Story

As parents, we all share the same hope: to see our children grow up happy, confident, and prepared for the future. Peachjar’s Founder and CEO, Mike Durham, felt this too. He started Peachjar in 2013, driven by his own experience of wanting to find the best resources for his children. Like many of us, he understood the pressure of filling time outside the classroom and ensuring children have opportunities to succeed.

That’s why Peachjar was created—to make it easier for families to access the resources that support their children’s growth and development. With a commitment to helping children thrive, Peachjar connects parents and guardians with trusted programs and services, ensuring they have the tools to nurture their children and prepare them for the world ahead. That journey is the same one that inspired Mike to create Peachjar, and together, we’re helping children shape a future full of possibility.

Growth Starts Small

With Peachjar, your child can explore new interests not previously available to them. The programming information found via Peachjar isn’t just all for fun, however. These programs help to build the critical foundation that will become your child’s strengths.

From programs that teach students grit, reasoning, and problem-solving skills, to others that teach team-building, leadership, and more. As a parent and guardian, you’ll receive information regarding youth mental health, substance misuse, and health clinics—helping you to look out for critical signs that your child may be struggling and take quick, actionable steps to help them.
