About the Philadelphia Project PEACE program

Project PEACE kicked off its intensive Philadelphia program at Sharswood Elementary School (2300 S. 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19148--215-952-6212) in October of 2004, building on the success of that school's veteran Project PEACE team which had been trained as part of the first statewide outreach back in 2000. This initiative marked the beginning of the Philadelphia School District's implementation of the elementary peer mediation program that has been sponsored statewide since 1999 by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and the Pennsylvania Bar Association. Philadelphia School District CEO Paul Vallas joined then Pennsylvania Bar Association President Mike Reed and then Attorney General Jerry Pappert in committing to bring Project PEACE to every K-8 school in the district.

The materials below describe the Philadelphia program which has branched from K-8 schools into area high schools, too. For more information, contact PBA Pro Bono Coordinator David Trevaskis at (800) 932-0311 ext. 2236 or david.trevaskis@pabar.org.
