The Community Alliance and Peacemaking Project (CAPP) practices conflict resolution skills and strategies by helping people to come together to: 
- Clear up misunderstandings
- Clear up disagreements
- Allievate or reduce discrimination/prejudice
- Strategize to deal with environmental justice issues
Conflict occurs when differences create strong negative emotions that need to be addressed, acknowledged and resolved before parties can move on. Conflict is natural and occurs within the family, school, community, workplace, business and institutions. Types of conflict include:
- Communication breakdown between youth, adults and/or elders
- Environmental justice issues
- Neighborhood disputes
- Policy disagreements
- Lack of parent and/or community engagement
