TAP (Talk About the Problems) is a peer mediation program making a difference in schools throughout the South. Students are trained as mediators, then work in pairs to assist their peers who are in conflict reach meaningful, mutually agreeable resolutions-- stopping conflicts before they escalate to violence, detention, or suspension. TAP empowers students to strengthen their schools by building communication and leadership skills that will last a lifetime and bolster an environment that is ideal for teaching and learning.

Who are the TAP Staff?
Rachel Glazer, the ISJL's Community Engagement Program Manager, has been with the department since 2015 and brings a true passion for social justice to her work. She believes in intersectional, interconnected approaches, and teamwork. Rianna Weil, the ISJL's Community Engagement Fellow (2020-2022), works with our TAP sites to train mediators and support Site Coordinators and Advocates. She loves working directly with our program participants and their families! We also have a cohort of Zadeck TAP Mentors, who volunteer their time to serve as program mentors and directly mentor the student mediators, and we are grateful to all of the community volunteers who help us out year-round. |
