New York Center for Interpersonal Development (NYCID) is a not-for-profit organization based in Staten Island, New York, established in 1970. It offers a mix of youth, community, and professional development programs alongside dispute resolution services focused on constructive problem-solving, effective communication, and intercultural awareness. The organization also operates a training institute to teach these skills to others. Its origins trace back to The Rap Center, created to support young people in navigating personal issues and building healthy relationships, and it expanded in 1982 with the Community Dispute Resolution Center, adding volunteer mediation and professional dispute resolution for the wider community.

In the Alternative Dispute Resolution industry, NYCID serves residents of Staten Island and the broader New York City area, offering mediation and other conflict-management services as well as educational programs. Its programs include school-based after-school enrichment, a transfer high school, dropout prevention services, and a range of trainings and professional development workshops designed for youth, schools, and professionals. The organization emphasizes intercultural awareness and constructive problem-solving as part of its mission to support both youth and community members. A recent development noted in 2021 was the appointment of Pavel Valera as Director of Workforce Initiatives.
