Peace Education Program offers site based trainings for young people in school settings, community centers, places of worship, etc.  These trainings include conflict resolution, mediation training and cooperative games.  Click here for a sample of youth workshops offered by Peace Education Program. 

Social skills and conflict coping strategies are essential to success in school, community and life.  Peace Education Program is troubled by the increasing reliance on standardized testing as the primary tool for measuring success.  We also recognize the reality facing our public school teachers, and the pressure on both them and their students to improve test scores. 

As well as offering trainings to young people, Peace Education Program offers adult trainings  for adults who work with youth.  The trainings include prejudice reduction, conflict resolution and mediation as well as cooperative games.  For a sample of adults workshops offered by Peace Education Program click here.
