New York Center for Interpersonal Development - Similar companies

Founded in 1970, the New York Center for Interpersonal Development (NYCID) is a not-for-profit organization on Staten Island ... providing youth, community and professional development programs as well as dispute resolution services that educate and inform the public about constructive problem-solving, effective communication and intercultural awareness. We also operate a training institute to teach these skills to others. Four decades ago we first opened our doors with The Rap Center on New Dorp Lane, a place for young people to gather, explore personal issues and forge healthy relationships with caring adults willing to provide support and guidance through very difficult times. In 1982, NYCID broadened our scope of services and opened the Community Dispute Resolution Center. With the training of volunteers in mediation and other methods of conflict management, we began providing professional dispute resolution services to the Staten Island community at large. Over the years, NYCID has reaffirmed our commitment to supporting young people and peacefully resolving conflicts. Working not only with Staten Islanders but with residents throughout New York City, our menu of programs and services has expanded to include: school-based after school enrichment programs; a transfer high school; drop out prevention services; numerous innovative mediation and conflict management services; and dynamic trainings and professional development workshops. read more
