Update to New York Peace Institute Response to COVID-19
Thank you to all of our clients, donors, volunteers, and other supporters who have helped us through the past few years and our transition to make the provision of virtual conflict resolution and restorative services possible. At the present time, we provide both virtual and in-person mediation, trainings, and facilitated dialogues and circles. Please note that for the immediate future both our Manhattan and Brooklyn offices remain closed for walk-in clients.
We will continue to amend our policies to respond to the City’s health needs, as appropriate, moving forward. If you have additional questions or would like to arrange a free mediation, training, or other service, please visit our website and submit a request or reach out to us at info@nypeace.org.
