Our Peer Mediation training for selected Mont Pleasant Middle School students in grades 6-8 wrapped up today!. 🎉
Over three intensive days, our students worked with Mediation Matters trainers, mastering vital skills like conflict resolution, active listening, and reflective questioning. They also bonded through community-building activities to become a cohesive team.
We are incredibly proud of their dedication and look forward to officially launching this vital program.
A huge thank you to Keith Langlois with Trustco Bank for generously sponsoring lunch for all three days of this transformative training! 🥪

✅ Civic Engagement
✅ Voter Registration
✅ Student Voice
Today, each Schenectady High School senior participated in a lesson on civic engagement. They watched campaign speeches from their peers, filled out a real ballot from the Schenectady County Board of Elections, and placed it in a real ballot counter. Students then had the option to register or pre-register to vote with help from the NAACP Schenectady Branch 2175.
