The "Paying It Forward" concept of giving. As a non-profit, the Dispute Resolution Center has provided a multitude of quality services to the Travis County community for almost thirty years.  We do this joyfully because we believe that our Centers gifts to the community result in a better and more peaceful place to live.  Overwhelmingly, the response of those who benefit from the Center has been positive gratitude. When the above and beyond efforts of our mediators, board members and staff result in this expression of this gratitude, we know that a large part of our mission has been fulfilled. For those who ask how they can give back, we now have a very simple, convenient way for you to express your gratitude via donations online.  Whether you wish to sponsor a scholarship for those who are inclined to become a mediator or help those in need of resolution to lifes disputes, your gift contributes to the value of creating peace in our community.

The DRC at Austin often plays host to a variety of interested visitors from all the world seeking perspectives on community problem solving and peacemaking. Our Center has been selected as a favorite stopping ground for the tours scheduled by the US Department of State and our local Global Austin. This International Visitor Leadership Program brought twenty two visitors to the DRC for a presentation, dialogue and tour of the facility. Countries represented included Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Belize, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, India, Iraq, Japan, Macedonia, Mexico, Nigeria, Peoples Republic of China, Peru, Philippines, Serbia, Somali and Sri Lanka. Assisting staff members included Rita Rancken and Scott Rich. The group enjoyed an overview of the Centers activities and speaking with our Board members (and mediators) Kathleen Hall, Pct 3 Commissioner Appointee and Pat Conegliano, Pct 4, Commissioner Gomez Appointee and David Garza, Past Chair of the Board of Directors. Thunderous applause and gratitude to these mediators and staff members who helped make this a memorable stop on the cross country tour of this group!
