Community support for our Center has provided opportunities for our team to share knowledge and build the capacity to lead processes to resolve conflict quickly and at a very early stage. Our Center has worked hard to build relationships with community members, courts, organizations, and institutions in order to live out our vision to be the trusted nonprofit providing premier conflict resolution services and programs.
