Our Impact

Civic Harmony Starts Here
In 2019 the DRC served 6,168 members of our community through mediation services, facilitation, training, youth outreach, conflict coaching and our Conflict Resolution Resource Line - an increase of 35% from the prior year.​

The DRC's impact is made possible by the efforts of more than 140  volunteers who collectively give over 5,000 hours of service each year 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, in-kind and service partnership support.
