How Was Peer Mediation Nortwestern HS?
“Mediation has helped me not only to solve others problems, but to come up with great solutions to solve my problems” – Daeja Middleton
“This peer mediation was fun I learn how to be a peer mediator and solved problems by listening to both sides of the story it was also fun”
“I don’t think I have plenty of experience as a mediator but it’s been fun.”
“Being a peer mediator, I’ve learned how to help people to solve conflicts. What I like about peer mediation is the fact that I get to help others my age.” – Shantae Byro
“During peer mediation I’ve developed better communication skills. I’ve also learned how to be solution oriented with my own conflicts.” – Cotrice Thomas
“Being in mediation the last couple of months was cool. I enjoyed learning about mediation, making new friends. It was a fun experience meeting my teachers of peer mediation.”

Help Increase the Peace Youth Media and Arts Show
The Northwestern High School Peer Mediators organized a gift to the school and surrounding community. Complete with youth made videos from the Griot’s Eye Program and New Lens Productions , performances and presentations from the mediators themselves and those in the audience.
Everyone learned more about peer mediation and how it can benefit the community and the mediators were very proud.
We’re looking forward to working with Northwestern HS again next year.
