Welcome to PALS Jamaica
Peace and Love in Schools (PALS) is a non-profit organisation in Jamaica that has worked since 1994 to promote violence prevention and conflict resolution in schools and communities.
PALS employs evidence-based methodologies to address the pervasive issue of violence among Jamaican youth. It focuses on behaviour modification, conflict management training, and fostering a culture of peace in schools and communities.
Violence is one of the most persistent threats facing Jamaican youth. Global data shows that up to 50% of the world’s children experience violence each year, and Jamaican children face even higher exposure. School-based violence disrupts learning, damages emotional development, increases dropout rates, and reinforces cycles of community violence.
PALS offers a proven, evidence-based set of interventions rooted in international peace-education frameworks and adapted for Jamaican cultural contexts. Our programmes have reached tens of thousands of children across three decades, supported by USAID, the European Union, the American Friends of Jamaica, JSIF, Private Sector Donors and the Government of Jamaica..
