Mediation is an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process that offers parties in dispute a way to address their issues without going to court. Community Mediation Centers are organizations that provide low-cost or free mediation services to individuals, businesses and organizations in their communities. They have existed for more than 50 years and are located in over 400 communities throughout the United States. Since 1999 our volunteers, the board of directors, the staff, and our community partners have teamed together and worked hard to build a strong resilient foundation for conflict resolution and conflict education in our community.
