The Chicago based Center for Conflict Resolution is one of the nation's premier not-for-profit providers of mediation services and hands-on mediation training. 

We maintain a standard of excellence in continuing education recognized by the Circuit Court of Cook County, and our volunteer mediators have handled more than 40,000 disputes since our founding in 1979.

Every year, knowledgeable, dedicated volunteers and staff mediate — pro bono — cases with more than 5,000 people, train hundreds of new mediators, facilitate meetings and work with dozens of businesses, government agencies and organizations to create custom-designed dispute resolution systems and training programs.
