Our Story

Since October 1993, the Anne Arundel Conflict Resolution Center's (AACRC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was formed as a community-based, private, nonprofit organization with the goal of addressing the growing violence in the surrounding communities by providing mediation services and education as an alternative to violence. Twenty-five years later, our trained volunteer mediators and staff are available to mediate with disputants with anger management training, prisoner re-entry mediation, school attendance mediation, workplace and other conflict resolution services, and conflict resolution services to residents of Anne Arundel County at no cost.

Mediation is an opportunity for people in conflict to speak with each other. It serves as a powerful tool to guide participants through a dispute resolution process that helps resolve any variety of conflicts. AACRC’s remarkably effective programs prevent neighborhood conflicts from escalating to violence, directly assist residents, helps resolve workplace disputes, helps to resolve parenting conflicts, and reduces recidivism by helping incarcerated men and women to successfully reintegrate with their community. Mediators listen and do no decide who is right or wrong. The process is confidential and voluntary. Through active participation, participant(s) have a chance to work out a solution that fits EVERYONE'S needs. Finally, mediation facilitates placing solution in writing (agreement) for those involved in the dispute to have a record of what they have worked out.
