Community dispute resolution provides communities with a forum to address conflict, uncover and resolve the underlying issues, and thereby achieve positive change. Community dispute resolution provides an alternative to the judicial system and facilitates collaborative community relationships. Community dispute resolution processes can include training and educational activities, and may involve a mediator from within the community or one brought in from the outside. The Teaching Negotiation Resource Center (TNRC) has a variety of community dispute resolution exercises designed to teach participants how to navigate the issues, relationships, and processes involved in community dispute resolution.
