The New Jersey State Bar Foundation (NJSBF), long a provider of quality professional development training for educators, has established a new mini-grant program to support peer mediation in K-12 schools.

The $500 mini-grants can be used to start or enhance an already existing peer mediation program in elementary and secondary public, private or charter schools across New Jersey. Any school that sends staff members to the NJSBF’s peer mediation training after Sept. 2018 may apply.
