Mediation Program

Mediation
The City of Boulder Mediation Program assists in resolving disputes for City of Boulder residents in the areas of landlord/tenant, roommates, neighbors, parent/teen, teen/teen, victim/offender, community groups, schools, inter-employee for non-profit agencies, City of Boulder, race and cross-cultural relations, human rights.

Mediation is a structured method of negotiation facilitated by neutral third-parties - mediators - who guides disputing parties through a process designed to bring about practical and permanent solutions to shared conflicts. Mediators are not judges and do not make decisions about who is right or wrong in a dispute. Rather, mediation agreements are created by the people most affected by the problem and are most often times a final and effective remedy to the situation. Mediation is based on open communication and compromise and participation is voluntary.

A large percentage of the work done by the Mediation Program involves landlord and tenant issues and we have created a section of resources dealing specifically with these relationships.

Restorative Justice 
In Restorative Justice the crime is viewed as a violation of people, interpersonal relationships and the community rather than simply a violation of the law. It involves going into mediation with the victims of the crime and /or those with whom you committed the crime.
