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

Solidify 25 ongoing strategic partnerships in Washoe County
Help resolve 500 conflict situations per year
Train 1,000 people in conflict skills per year
