Who We Are
CDRC (Community Dispute Resolution Center) started in Ithaca, NY in 1983 with the idea that people should have an informal, quick and inexpensive way for dealing with conflicts. Mediation provides that opportunity. CDRC chose to be community-based, recruiting and training community volunteers as its mediators. In 1997, we expanded to two neighboring counties and opened offices in Elmira and Montour Falls.

Interface trains managers in conflict resolution, facilitates meetings and retreats on complex or hot-button topics, and provides mediation and external ombuds personnel for businesses with no human resource officer.
