We are indebted to all those who have made the DRC what it is today. The commitment and support from financial contributors like you has carried us through the last 30 years and is critical to positioning the DRC to serve our community for the next 30.  Your involvement and contribution to community mediation matters so very much.  

As we look to the future, we know there is much more to be done.  Please consider making an investment, with a one-time financial contribution or monthly giving commitment, to help sustain the DRC’s legacy and the transformation we have begun. 
Picture
The DRC recently held a COVID-delayed celebration of our organization's 30th Anniversary, which included publication of a special commemorative book, 30 Years of Building Community.  The book reflects on the DRC's founding in 1991, the origins of community mediation, the efforts of our dedicated volunteers, and the many milestones in the evolution of our services as we continue to advance our vision: a South Sound community that has and uses healthy and respectful conflict resolution skills.

Our Impact

Civic Harmony Starts Here
In 2021 - despite navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic - the DRC served a total of 6,439 members of our community as a result of our transformation to online services and new innovative resources. ​

The DRC's impact is made possible by the efforts of more than 160  volunteers who collectively provided nearly 7,000 hours of service in 2021 to help individuals, families and organizations in our community navigate conflict.
Thank You to all of the individuals, businesses, foundations and organizations who have made an investment in the mission and work of the DRC - and made our community impact possible - through their financial, volunteer, in-kind and service partnership support.

Affordable solutions for resolutions.
We empower people to restore and build relationships.
