Causes: Crime & Law, Dispute Resolution & Mediation
Mission: The mission of the resolution center of jefferson and lewis counties, inc. Is to administer and support its programs (mediation, casa and youth court) in part by providing a continuum of services including life skills, development, dispute resolution and child advocacy. Through trained volunteers and staff, we offer inclusive, inovative approaches to empower individuals to resolve conflict and achieve positive outcomes for children, families and the community.
Programs: The organization trains volunteers to peacefully resolve conflict through alternative dispute methods, to advocate for abused and neglected children, so as to accelerate their placement into safe, permanent homes, and to provide a peer-based court system that allows juvenile offenders to take responsibility for their actions.
