History

The Dispute Resolution Center is a private, non-profit community mediation program founded in 1982 to provide mediation, facilitation, training and referral services. The Center is one of six community-based programs in the state of Minnesota and the only provider serving the East Metro area of the Twin Cities. As a community resource, the Center recruits and trains a diverse group of over 60 qualified volunteer mediators to assist neighbors, families, community groups, government agencies, landlords and tenants, schools and businesses to constructively resolve conflict and prevent the need for costly litigation.

The Center's services provide an effective, convenient, affordable opportunity to find positive, satisfactory solutions to many types of community and family problems such as; matters of public safety concerning traffic or parking; rental arrangements; consumer-merchant disputes; neighborhood conflicts about noise, pets or property lines; small claims concerning money, property damage, or breach of contract; and post-divorce visitation concerns about co-parenting and communication between parents and children.
