MCC Receives Grant from The City of Charlottesville
The City of Charlottesville Vibrant Communities Fund awarded MCC $42,000 to support a new Community Mediation Initiative. This initiative is recruiting and training community members to become mediators who can support their neighbors in resolving disputes.
MCC Receives Grant from U.S. Department of Justice
The Police-Referred Mediation Pilot Project, which we are launching with Resolution Virginia and other Community Mediation Centers will give Virginians access to free mediation, conciliation, conflict exploration and restorative justice services through six of Resolution Virginia’s affiliated community mediation centers. Center staff will train local law enforcement officers to 1.) identify issues that could be resolved through mediation, conciliation, conflict exploration or restorative justice, and 2.) make service referrals to the conflict engagement specialists at the centers.
