Past Projects

Partnerships for Youth

The violence experienced by young people has produced a range of institutional and organizational responses, including a number of school-based programs teaching peer mediation and conflict resolution. Many young people, however, are not adequately supported by the school environment and are drawn into a variety of community-based youth programs with which the Project works in partnership.

From 1997- 2002, the Project, working with three community-based youth organization:

1. provided conflict resolution training to the participating youth;
2. provided technical assistance to the organizations as they integrated a conflict resolution curriculum;
3. facilitated interaction among organizations working with youth and conflict; and
4. continued an internship designed to increase skills and leadership capacity of youth between the ages of 18-22.

This project was coordinated by Cheshire Frager from 1997-2002.
