Center For Multicultural Mediation

Voluntary mediation gives two parties space to address conflict and reach a shared solution. Center for Multicultural Mediation serves individuals in Somali and East African communities, partners with service providers, and supports cross-cultural resolution between those communities and the broader Twin Cities. Its services include family and housing mediation, facilitation of difficult conversations, and training in culturally aware dispute resolution for organizations, businesses, schools, and service providers. The African Youth Diversion Program offers alternatives to the criminal justice system for youth. The organization works with culturally responsive mediators and facilitators to address misunderstandings, family conflict, and community tensions. It also provides education on dispute resolution for people and organizations working with African community members.
