Leap believes that all young people have the potential to be
leaders, initiators, creators, mediators and problem solvers.
Conflict work lies at the heart of creating positive, stimulating
and supportive relationships with young people. They can then
make empowered choices, which release their energy for giving
service in the community, and help them to realise their potential.
Leap’s current youth projects are:
The Quarrel Shop: A London-based part-time
training course for young volunteers in peer mediation and conflict
resolution skills
Peerlink: Is a national peer mediation
and youth conflict resolution project from Leap Confronting
Conflict, steered and delivered by young people.
Gangs and Territorialism:
action-research project: A pilot project mapping current approaches
to street gang conflicts and developing practical approaches
to severely marginalized young people on inner-urban estates
Confronting Conflict in Schools: Currently
working with students and staff in schools in inner London
Leadership skills:
