Mission
THE MISSION OF RPCP IS TO ENRICH THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING AND PROMOTING THE BEST PRACTICES AND PRINCIPLES OF PEACEBUILDING AND GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY.
About
PROGRAMS- RPCP FACILITATES POLICE-YOUTH DIALOGUES BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND BLACK AND BROWN YOUTH TO ASSIST IN DE-ESCALATING CONFLICTS, UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA, BREAKING DOWN OF STEREOTYPES, CREATING HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS AND HUMANIZING ONE ANOTHER. OUR CURRENT PARTNERS INCLUDE GAINESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ALACHUA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND SANTA FE COLLEGE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SINCE 2012, RPCP HAS FACILITATED OVER 100 POLICE YOUTH DIALOGUES WITH OVER 3000 PARTICIPANTS IN GAINESVILLE, PORT ST. LUCIE, TALLAHASSEE, THE PHILIPPINES AND UKRAINE. RPCP ALSO TEACHES SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS TO YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITY AND AT SCHOOLS THROUGH THE COMMUNICATION & SELF-ESTEEM PROGRAM. THE CURRICULUM TEACHES YOUTH TO DEVELOP SELF-AWARENESS, RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, SOCIAL AWARENESS, AND SELF-MANAGEMENT. THESE COMPETENCIES HELP YOUTH IDENTIFY AND COMMUNICATE THEIR EMOTIONS, EMBRACE CONFLICT AS CONSTRUCTIVE, RATHER THAN DESTRUCTIVE, DEVELOP EMPATHY FOR OTHERS, AND COMMUNICATE WITH THEMSELVES AND OTHERS IN HEALTHY WAYS. RPCP RECEIVES REFERRALS FROM THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, SCHOOLS, DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, A PROCESS THAT BRINGS VICTIMS AND OFFENDERS AND THEIR COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONFLICT OR CRIME WAS, WHO WAS IMPACTED, HOW TO REPAIR IT AND HOW TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. EVERYONE INVOLVED GETS TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD AND IS INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPING AN AGREEMENT OF HOW TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. GENERALLY, IF THE AGREEMENT IS FULFILLED, THE CASE OR ANY OTHER PUNITIVE SANCTIONS ARE DISMISSED. RESTORATIVE JUSTICE MOVES US FROM A PUNISHMENT MODEL TO A RESTORATIVE MODEL THAT INCLUDES ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPECT, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IT IS AN EVIDENCED-BASED PRACTICE AND PHILOSOPHY. RPCP CO-CREATED A PROGRAM WITH GACTA (GAINESVILLE AREA COMMUNITY TENNIS ASSOCIATION) AND IS PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TO PROVIDE PEACE THROUGH SPORTS, A CURRICULUM THAT COMBINES PHYSICAL LITERACY WITH EMOTIONAL SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. THE PROGRAM IS OFFERED IN SEVERAL SCHOOLS. AS STUDENTS PRACTICE A VARIETY OF SPORTS, GAINING AND REFINING NEW PHYSICAL ABILITIES, THEY ALSO LEARN IMPULSE CONTROL, COMMUNICATION SKILLS, EMPATHY, HEALTHY COMPETITION, LEADERSHIP, AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION. RPCP ALSO PROVIDES MEDIATION AND COUNSELING SERVICES FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS.
