PAZ After-School Programs (at PS 24/Brooklyn and PS 214/Bronx)
Morningside Center runs two exemplary after-school programs that focus on social and emotional learning.
Peace in the Family
Our Peace in the Family workshops help parents develop their social and emotional skills and strengthen their relationships with their children.
Peer Mediation, Peace Helpers & Student Leadership
Through our peer mediation programs, selected young people learn foundation skills in nonviolent communication, and then master a specific step-by-step mediation process.
Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP)
Founded by Morningside Center and the NYC Department of Education in 1985, the RCCP is one of the nation’s oldest and most effective school-based conflict resolution programs.
Respect for All
These two-day awareness and skill-building workshops specifically address bullying, especially of lesbian and gay young people.
Through a series of structured community-building circles, we engage students (grades 6-12) in establishing positive connections with their peers and solving conflicts collaboratively and peacefully.
We provide tailored support for principals in leading with emotional intelligence and in engaging all members of the school community in planning for and implementing whole school social and emotional learning (SEL).
