Red Hook Celebrates the New York Peace Institute Launch

Congratulations to our friends at the New York Peace Institute (NYPI) for a successful launch. After 30 years, The New York Peace Institute successfully spun off from the Safe Horizon Mediation Program into an independent organization. The New York Peace Institute provides valuable mediation services and conflict resolution workshops to our local community and cases at the Red Hook Community Justice Center.

We wish them the best of luck as they bring their service to the City and beyond, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership.

Julian Adler, Project Director, and Jessica Colon, Deputy Project Director of the Red Hook Community Justice Center at the NYPI launch party on October 6, 2011.
