Community Mediation, Inc. in Hamden, CT has been working in the New Haven and Hamden schools to train youth to be peer mediators for many years.  Most of our work is funded by grants and some funds from the Board of Education.  Sadly, those funds don't allow us to purchase something that would allow the mediators to stand out from other students.  No safety badges, t-shirts, or even buttons that tell students who the mediators are.  We are hoping you will help us change that.

We currently have a campaign going on indiegogo to raise funds to purchase hoodies for our past, present, and future peer mediators.  We would like to request your help in making the campaign a success. 

1) You can visit the campaign page and hit the "like" button under the photo of some of our peer mediators.  Having lots and lots of likes pushes our campaign into the featured campaigns spot on the site giving both us and peer mediation on the whole a place in the spotlight.  Many people have no idea peer mediation exists and this campaign can help to change that.

2) Donate!  You don't have to live in CT to help support this campaign and every dollar helps us get closer to our goal!

3) Spread the word.  Tweet it, FaceBook it, email it to your volunteers, staff, friends, family or anyone you know that supports young mediators.

Here is a link to our campaign: Help Kids Making a Difference

Please help me make this a success!!!  If we do not reach our goal of just $8500, we don't get any money and the kids don't get hoodies!
