Kids Managing Conflict SCMA Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization that serves as the charitable and educational arm of the Southern California Mediation Association, the leading mediation professional society in California. Based in Los Angeles, California, it operates as a 501(c)(3) and concentrates on promoting conflict management education within K-12 schools to equip students for adulthood. Established in 2007, the foundation supports the broader mediation ecosystem by backing organizations that provide public mediation services and training for current or aspiring mediators. The work sits at the nexus of education and mediation within the civic and social sector. The organization maintains a small staff and focuses on schools seeking conflict resolution instruction, as well as partner groups delivering mediation services to the public or offering mediator training. In October 2024, it participated as the Education Foundational Partner at SCMA's 36th Annual Fall Conference held at Pepperdine University in Malibu, reflecting ongoing involvement in regional mediation activities.
