Making Peace Program

We are especially proud of our documentary Making Peace: Kids and Their Conflict Stories, and have included all the information you need to create a Making Peace Program of your own.

This program is the first of its kind to interview middle school mediators and hear in their own voices what mediation means to them and the students they serve.

These young mediators resolve student interpersonal conflicts and provide a sympathetic ear to students who just want to talk to someone who's not an adult.

This program provides an opportunity for a wide diversity of students to contribute to their schools through service and without the recognition that other students may receive for other various school activities.

These contributing students are athletes, cheerleaders, musicians, scholars, and kids down the hall who "just want to help other students."
