Mediation and Restorative Justice Center

The Mediation and Restorative Justice Center conducts virtually all types of mediations – family, small/large claims, community, truancy, workplace, police, juvenile, and landlord/tenant cases. The Center also conducts facilitations and peace circles, annual trainings in mediation and conflict resolution and training in peer mediation. In addition, the Center is involved in restorative justice programs including victim/offender conferencing and youth programs such as youth accountability panels, “Kick Conflict,” “Teen Court” and “Agree to Succeed.” Speakers are available for conferences and meetings.

Program Goal

The Center promotes and provides mediation and other effective processes of conflict resolution and restorative justice.

Program History

The Mediation and Restorative Justice Center was established in January 1983 to handle juvenile cases. In April of that year, the United Way in Waukesha County provided additional funding to deal with community mediation issues. The Center has continued to emphasize community mediation along with growing in the restorative justice area.

Program Method

Mediation sessions are held in a neutral, confidential setting where the parties are encouraged to discuss their dispute and work toward a solution through the aide of a trained mediator. The program employs three staff members and has 35-40 mediators/volunteers.
