A. Supply on-going leadership training and offer “peace moderator” certification.
Community Progress conducts on-going surveys of associations, advocacy groups, community groups and clubs, to update our database and to keep aware of relevant issues. We have long determined there is a need for leaders to improve their communication skills and find better, more effective ways to mediate organizational conflict, and guide goals.

Specifically, we offer training that focuses on increasing leadership effectiveness, by improving membership relations and community outreach communication strategies.

Part of the training includes conflict resolution strategies that foster peace within a group.

B. Provide on-line educational resources and database for on-going membership usage.
Specific outcome objectives would be to create an extensive on-line database of social issues research, articles, reference links, training materials and news updates with easy access for key participants and member organizations. We encourage multi-organizational input and look to our members to contribute, promote and support our work. We are affiliated with a number of training and community ‘media’ based resource organizations that share data, books, tapes and other useful materials with us.

C. Sponsor a Peace Conference initiative to teach alternative conflict resolution.
In partnership with Days of Dialogue, L.A. City Attorney’s of Mediation, New York Peace Network, UCLA, and other social workers specializing in gang intervention, Community Progress is currently involved in securing interest and sponsorship of a citywide Gang Peace Conference initiative that would bring a truce and communication to disenfranchised individuals & neighborhood groups looking for an outlet towards peace.
Our sister organization www.PeaceConference.org offers an easy to apply process that allows all sides of an issue equal say, while creating the possibility for peace and resolution.

D. Publish a Social Issues e-journal report and open access advocacy educational website.
Social Issues is an independent media project and exists in creative collaboration with universities, think tanks and issue concerned organizations. The web project and future planned printed journal serve as a public issue guide for concerned citizens and voters.
