The JAMS Foundation/ACR Initiative for Students and Youth provides funding for conflict prevention and dispute resolution programs for pre-K-12 students and for adults working with youth populations in ways that directly transfer conflict resolution education skills from adults to youth. The 2023 funding track will focus on efforts to increase the resiliency skills in children (ages 5-11) by using conflict resolution education and training to increase their ability to cope with crisis, stress, and lack of hope in the future. The focus is on conflict resolution practitioners and organizations working with child-based community organizations which provide full childcare for working parents, guardians, or other caregivers, or to organizations providing before- or after-school programming. Grants will range from $20,000 to $40,000. The deadline for submitting initial project idea descriptions is January 9, 2023; invited applications will be due May 19, 2023. (An informational conference call will be held on November 21, 2022, and attendance is strongly advised.) Click here for more.
