Peacemaker Project
Peacemaker Project provides violence prevention and intervention services that are grounded in trauma-informed care and cultural competence and aligned with restorative justice principles. During the 30-month intervention, the program will serve at least 300 youth and young adults as well as their close family and friends, reaching well over 1,000 San Diegans in all. Program participants will be identified and selected from three different sources: (1) youth-involved violent incident reports from the community (e.g. law enforcement, community members, the media), (2) referrals from County Probation, and (3) requests from families for post-incarceration re-entry support. In addition, the project will work with 2-1-1 San Diego to list Peacemakers in its directory so community members know how to request a mobile response team.
