Funding Priorities
Thank you for your interest in the Neighborhood Mediation Center.
Our Mission is to seek civility and resolution for all conflicts in our community. We do this by openly sharing our conflict resolution skills and tools.
Partnering to help Northern Nevada Youth
By specifically working with organizations in Washoe County that work with young people who are placed at risk, we help them reach and support more kids, more effectively. The end result is more kids having better lives, and a stronger, more civil and conflict competent community.
NMC partners with organizations by getting to know their needs around conflict and communications and then delivering services on a priority basis. Training, coaching, and conflict resolution services are the foundational elements we provide.
Our 5 Year Vision is to by 2027:
Solidify 25 ongoing strategic partnerships in Washoe County
Help resolve 500 conflict situations per year
Train 1,000 people in conflict skills per year
