New York City Communities-Collaborative Project

In 1998, the ICCCR received a grant from the SURDNA Foundation to work with four community-based organizations in the New York City area to provide conflict resolution, organizational development and community development training. This grant provided funding for the Center to carry out research and evaluation on the effects of the training and its value in assisting grass-roots organizations in achieving their organizational and community level objectives. We extended the grant and partnered with community-based organizations to address school system conflicts and violence.
