Behind every conversation, connection, and conflict resolved is a community of people committed to making peace possible.

Our DRCWM Board of Directors recently gathered in person to connect, reflect, and continue supporting the growth of our services.

For 40 years, DRCWM has helped people resolve conflict, restore connection, and promote healthier communities through accessible mediation, restorative practices, and other conflict resolution services.

As we celebrate 40 years of peacebuilding, we’re inviting our community to be part of what comes next.
