The Conflict Center

“The finance committee reviews and approves the 990 prior to filing with the irs.”

“Each year board members sign a conflict of interest policy, in which they disclose potential conflicts that might arise. The executive director and board president review these forms to ensure that directors abstain from voting on any such matters, and that all directors are aware of any potential conflicts.”

“The board of directors reviews a salary survey conducted by the colorado nonprofit association to determine that compensation for the executive director is comparable to other similarly situated nonprofit organizations.”

“Governing documents are available upon request. The form 990 and annual report are posted on the organization's website.”

“Through our youth and adult classes and conflict management workshops, we empower individuals to see and use conflict as an opportunity to grow, learn, and create positive change in their lives. We partner with schools to foster a community of inclusion, where students feel safe to be themselves. We shift school culture to build nurturing, positive relationships, and to implement a restorative culture where students are held accountable within the school community, making punitive discipline the exception rather than the norm. At the conflict center, we believe that all of us are capable of and responsible for building healthy relationships in our homes, schools, congregations, workplaces, and communities.”

“102 adults and 60 youth and their parents on site, in addition to providing training off-site across the denver-metro area.”

“Practices that reduce the disproportionality high disciplinary referrals, suspensions and expulsions of children of color and; therefore, reduce the odds that students will subsequently become involved in the juvenile justice system. We trained 593 educators.”

“Our healthy relationship campaigns focus on the six types of abuse: physical, emotional, sexual, stalking, financial/economic, and digital. We conducted social norming at two high schools serving a total of 1,529 students. Hot spot mapping is a student-driven program which asks students to identify places where and people with whom students feel most safe. Hot spot mapping has significant potential to help schools and other community organizations not only identify areas for improvement related to safety and culture, but also center the community in creating solutions. We piloted hot spot mapping at one high school serving over 414 students. Reading for peace is a multi-generational reading program for elementary schools devoted to reading and discussing the books which teach and reinforce the socio-emotional skills. We conducted reading for peace in 10 schools, serving 1,320 students.”
