THE PROGRAM EMPOWERS PARTICIPANTS BY IMPROVING THEIR SELF-ESTEEM, LEADERSHIP AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY HELPING TO DECREASE VIOLENCE AND CREATE A GREATER SENSE OF PEACE AND SECURITY WITHIN THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025, OUR PEER MEDIATION PROGRAM HELD TRAINING 6 SCHOOLS. WE TRAINED 177 STUDENTS TO BE PEER MEDIATORS WHO CONDUCTED 87 MEDIATIONS. 52% OF STUDENTS REPORT USING CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM SETTING, WHILE 81% OF MEDIATION REFERRALS CAME FROM THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES.
