Abstract
AbstractCommunity mediation programs, inaugurated in the 1970s, have grown in number and influence, serving low‐income individuals and families in 550 centers throughout the United States. Volunteers, the mainstay of community mediation programs, provide mediation services in a wide array of community, neighborhood, and family conflicts. In addition to describing community mediation programs, this article describes the founding of the National Association for Community Mediation (NAFCM) and its efforts to support the continued viability of community mediation centers and to promote the availability and use of mediation.
