Community Mediation Member Organizations

Mission: To develop the capacity of the community to respectfully resolve conflict and repair harm.
Community Mediation & Restorative Services, Inc. (CMRS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals move from conflict to resolution through a respectful, constructive, private, and efficient mediation process. By recruiting and training volunteer mediators to act as neutral facilitators, CMRS works to cultivate common ground and create opportunity from conflict through community-based mediation, juvenile mediation, court-based mediation, and restorative justice and mediation trainings. CMRS is a nonprofit organization serving Hennepin County and funded by both public and private support. The work of CMRS and its volunteers and partners helps create safer and more harmonious neighborhoods and communities.
Mission: To bring people together to find lasting and effective solutions to conflict.
CRC’s Vision is to be the primary community resource for creating opportunity from conflict, and where repairing harm is valued over punishment.
CRC services are based on a core belief that individuals of all ages and backgrounds are capable of resolving their own disputes – effectively, inexpensively, and peacefully – with assistance from trained volunteer mediators. CRC provides communities with the tools to peacefully and effectively resolve disputes.
CRC is dedicated to providing dispute resolution services and training to all people, especially those who cannot afford traditional services offered through the courts. We focus on serving those for whom traditional services have not worked in the past because they did not address underlying issues or were not culturally appropriate. Mediation used earlier in the dispute process can prevent the need for further intervention on the part of city departments, the police, or courts – thus saving valuable resources and tax dollars.

Mission: To promote the constructive resolution of conflict through open communication and shared decision making.
We believe that people can resolve disputes respectfully, without litigation, to the mutual satisfaction of all parties. We advocate for managing disputes peacefully through the use of problem-solving techniques that help build feelings of community. We provide the highest quality service possible and ensure that these services are accessible to all residents of the communities we serve. We partner with community members, groups, schools, and businesses to develop and maintain an open organization that reflects diversity and welcomes all people. We promote the peaceful resolution of conflict as a preferred method of building healthy communities and reaching mutual goals.
