The Community Conferencing Center offers conferencing for a variety of crimes and conflicts, including: 1) alternative to court for misdemeanor and some felony offenses, 2) alternative to school suspension and arrest, 3) a collaborative way to resolve intractable neighborhood conflicts, 4) returning to family/community following incarceration, 5) victim-offender dialogue for serious crimes, and 6) organizational conflict. The Community Conferencing Center also provides training, technical assistance, program development, and program evaluation services.

The CCC is competing in an online contest to help raise money for our organization.  While we ordinarily steer away from these types of things, this represents a very easy way to raise a lot of money for our organization and 16 other organizations all committed to progressive work.

The CCC is asking everyone to donate a few minutes of their days in May and sign up to be a daily voter so that we can win $25K.  Your daily vote would take us a long way in raising money so we can continue the work of the Community Conferencing Center!
