    Summary

    The Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR) is pleased to announce a partnership with the JAMS Foundation in support of the Conflict Resolution Education for Youth grant program. The mission of the ACR/JAMS Foundation partnership is summarized below.

    • MissionThis JAMS Foundation - ACR Initiative seeks to provide financial support for conflict resolution education and training (CRE) for Pre-K through 12th grade students and youth. The populations to be served by the funding streams will be both (1) youth in Pre-K through 12th grade age range and (2) adults working with these youth populations in ways that directly transfer CRE skills for adults to the youth populations.
    • Funding Contexts: The contexts for projects may include community, schools, alternative education (online education, charter schools, after school programs), government (juvenile justice facilities, courts) and NGO settings. While some proposals may be able to secure and guarantee access to or cooperation from traditional K-12 school districts/schools, this funding opportunity is intended to provide potential financial support for CRE work in other contexts as well.

    The 2022 Funding Focus

    The pandemic is shifting, and our society is loosening the restrictions put in place. As we transition, we must recognize the challenges in education, housing, economics, food, and health security that remain. Changes have occurred in every area of life, resulting in high levels of uncertainty and stress, especially among high school aged adolescents. 

     

    The proposed project would help to increase adolescents' capacity to engage in and respond constructively to these challenging times by providing them opportunities to both be trained in and use conflict resolution skills in one of the following settings:

    • domestic violence shelters
    • foster care
    • homeless shelters
    • school/after school programming organization
    • youth correctional facilities

    These skills will allow the participants to confidently face the issues that have been heightened during the Pandemic both within and outside the setting, and for which there is a need for reconciliation or constructive engagement.


    The measures of success will be adolescents reporting increased capacity and opportunity, because of conflict resolution education, training, or services, to:

    1. use conflict resolution skills to develop, explore, and make choices in addressing conflict arising regarding issues heightened during the Pandemic, either in the focused setting or in the larger community.
    2. engage with other adolescents and adults within a framework of constructive engagement and reconciliation to assist with de-escalation of potentially divisive or violent conflict and increase civic engagement.

    Requests for funding may range from $15,000.00 to $40,000.00 for the first year of the funding cycle. Year two funding cycle requests may be for no more than $20,000.00. ACR is looking to recommend a small number of high-quality projects with proven impact and the potential of regional and national impact upon completion. The proposed projects can be one or two-year projects, but decisions on funding for a second year will be contingent on evidence of benchmark accomplishments at the end of the first year of funding.
