The Eastern Upper Peninsula Community Dispute Resolution Center (CDRC) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization formed in 1993. The center provides mediation and conflict resolution services to the citizens of Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac Counties. We are a United Way Agency.

Our center does not charge for services or conflict resolution training for youth (Kindergarten through 12th grade). A fee schedule for services to adults is available upon request. Individual circumstances may warrant a reduction or waiver of fees. Please Contact Us for more information.

The EUP CDRC is one of 20 centers in Michigan funded the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) of the Michigan Supreme Court. SCAO funds centers to ensure the availability of low-cost mediation throughout the entire geographical area of the State of Michigan. SCAO administers the Community Dispute Resolution Program (CDRP) created in 1988 by the Michigan Legislature.

Local volunteers who successfully complete a 40-hour training program approved by SCAO provide the mediation services for these centers. Most centers, including the EUP CDRC, offer this training at least once annually.
