The Conflict Resolution Program confronts destructive and violent responses to human conflict. In New York City, hundreds of teenagers are killed or wounded each year by peers armed with guns that are trafficked into the city.  Our Youth and Community Violence Prevention Project (YCVP) brings youth, between the ages of 15 – 24 who are disproportionately the victims and the perpetrators of gun violence, to the forefront of the discussion on this issue.  The Project collaborates with community-based organizations and activists to strengthen their abilities to address community violence in New York City.
