Mission Our mission is to develop the capacity of the community to respectfully resolve conflict and repair harm.
Vision Statement We envision a world where communities can equitably navigate differences, resolve conflict, and prevent and address harm.
Our Values
Equity: We advance equitable, effective, and accessible programs and services to promote respect and compassion in our communities.
Inclusion: We believe that better solutions emerge when people with diverse perspectives and lived experiences feel valued and respected and have equitable opportunities to contribute their voices.
Accountability: We honor and hold ourselves accountable to our work's Indigenous, West African, and Black civil rights activist origins and acknowledge that conflict is often rooted in systems that perpetuate inequities.
Agency: We believe in the capacity of individuals and communities to shape the conversations and decisions that impact their lives and our communities.
Community: We build and maintain relationships with individuals, families, and organizations that bring people, resources, and ideas together in authentic and transparent ways.
