The annual San Francisco Peacemaker Awards is a benefit for Community Boards that honors individuals and organizations working to prevent and reduce violence and conflict throughout San Francisco. The awards also celebrate Community Boards and its Neighborhood Mediation Program, the oldest, longest-running public conflict resolution and restorative justice center in the US. In addition, they acknowledge the dedication and service of our diverse pool of its 450+ volunteer mediators, conflict coaches, facilitators, and trainers.
