About us
The Pierce County Center for Dispute Resolution (PCCDR) is an independent non-profit 501(C)(3) mediation service provider and training center in downtown Tacoma, Washington.
We believe that collaboration and consensus building are better than zero-sum litigation as methods of resolving conflicts. This belief drives our commitment to making affordable mediation and settlement conference services available to our community. [Services]
We also provide reasonably priced mediation training to enable people to incorporate collaborative dispute resolution into their personal and professional lives. [Training]

Get involved
We maintain a small permanent staff, but all of our mediators are volunteers. We also need volunteer office staff. We are always interested in hearing from people who want to donate their time.
We also accept financial donations to help us to better serve low-income clients and expand our training and community outreach efforts. PCCDR is a 501(C)(3) non-profit, and all donations are tax deductible.
