Equity & Access Initiative Goals

1

Expand our entire community’s access to resolution and justice.

Finances should not be a barrier to mediation. Your investment will ensure all who need dispute resolution have access regardless of their ability to fully fund the cost of mediation.

2

Build a diverse mediator corps to reflect the people we serve.

Imagine the impact of mediators, trainers and facilitators who more closely represent the people accessing CDR's services. 

3

Create equitable pathways to mediation and facilitation training.

We must increase the number of people who develop the skills needed to facilitate peaceful dialog. 

4

Ensure conflict resolution services in our community for the next 25 years.

Fulfill our community's need for social justice and equity innovation for many years to come.
