Fight for Peace is an international non- governmental organisation (NGO) thatsupports young people to achieve their full potential and helps create peaceful communities. The organisation was founded in Rio de Janeiro, in 2000, and set up in London in 2007. 

We believe the choices young people make are based on the opportunities and support they have access to, as well as the way they see themselves, how they relate to others, and how they see their future. That’s why Fight for Peace invests in young people, offering integrated and holistic programmes in a safe environment. 

Strategically we focus on three main activities: firstly, we provide direct services to young people through our Academies in London and Rio; secondly, we support youth-focused partner organisations who are members of the Fight for Peace Alliance; and thirdly, through our Collectives - currently in Newham and Jamaica - we work with local partners, government bodies, donors and the private sector, to generate greater impact in preventing violence in communities. 

A PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH TO VIOLENCE PREVENTION 

Fight for Peace uses a public health model which focuses on three levels of violence prevention. We offer universal services that opportunities and provide support for all young people living in communities affected by crime and violence. We also focus on individuals or groups identified as being at risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of crime and violence. And we support young people most at risk of harm, or causing harm, to disengage from crime and violence, and work to prevent them reoffending or being victimised again. 

OUR LONDON ACADEMY 

We set up our London Academy in North Woolwich in 2007 to provide services to children and young people aged 7 to 25 in the borough of Newham and beyond. Today, the Academy usually works with around 900 young people annually and acts as a training hub for our Fight for Peace Alliance member organisations. It is also the location from which we coordinate our London-based Collectives. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, many of our services are being provided online. 

THE FIGHT FOR PEACE FIVE PILLARS 

Our Academies use a Five Pillars methodology, drawing on non-traditional methods to engage young people where conventional methods aren’t working. Through boxing and martial arts, young people build strength and discipline, gain self-respect and learn that success comes through hard work and dedication. We offer formal education programmes for young people who are not at school to re-engage with their learning, and employability support and training for young people to get access to the job market and progress in their professional lives. 

Through our Support Services, specialist youth workers support young people to overcome issues they may be facing at school, at home or in their personal lives. And our Youth Leaders help to design programmes, develop strategies and make decisions at every level of our organisation. 

In this way, we provide young people with the tools and support structures they need to become life champions and create positive futures for themselves. 

In 2015, Fight for Peace launched Collectives to establish a location-specific, multi-agency approach to promoting youth safety in areas affected by inequality and violence, to ensure young people can access the range of support they need. Collectives have been implemented in Kingston, Jamaica and Cape Town, South Africa.

NEWHAM PARTNERSHIPS

Fight for Peace launched the Pan-Newham Partnership in January 2020. This is a pilot of the collective impact approach in the borough of Newham, London. Fight for Peace facilitates and coordinates the work of the partnership which includes 30 organisations across the voluntary sector, public sector, health and the private sector. The vision of the partnership is to facilitate collaboration between organisations to increase opportunities for young people and improve youth safety in the borough. Fight for Peace was successful in leading a consortium bid to the Violence Reduction Unit with three grassroots members of the Pan-Newham Partnership. The consortium is called ACT-AS-1 (All Communities Together Are Stronger) and the programme is called MyEnds. The aim of this programme is to ensure local communities, and specifically young people, have their voices, ideas and solutions heard and acted on to make their community safer and create more opportunities for young people. The programme centres around three wards in Newham: Canning Town North, Custom House and Plaistow South which are impacted by high levels of violence.

NEWHAM PARTNERSHIPS MANAGER ROLE OVERVIEW

The manager leading this exciting programme, is going on maternity leave shortly and we are looking for cover for 9-12 months to ensure the aims and objectives of the MyEnds programme continue with momentum and the Pan-Newham Partnership develops in line with its vision.

This is not an oversight role, you will be expected to continue driving the MyEnds programme forward with the support of a newly recruited team and with support of Fight for Peace colleagues.
