The Mediation Center

The Mediation Center of the Coastal Empire is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in 1986 to serve our community.   

Our mission is to harness the power of qualified volunteers, facilitate the process of citizens proactively managing conflict, provide alternatives to litigation and increase access to justice.

We rely on volunteers, donations and grant funding to maintain and build on the programs we have developed over the years. We support people from all walks of life who are trying to resolve their conflicts as easily and painlessly as possible through mediation (rather than taking the issue to court). We support children in the community through our three Youth Programs and families who are encountering difficulties through the Family Law Resource Center.
