PeerLink, which was previously the Young Mediators Network, will roll out across London, Yorkshire and Humber, and the Southwest from 1 April.
Jenny Rogers, chief executive of the youth charity, said: "PeerLink will become the national movement and network for peer mediation and conflict resolution led by young people." The 1.3m funding came from the Lottery's Young People's Fund National Grants Programme, which has a pot of 12.5m.
