Each year our services impact thousands of lives in Whatcom County
The WDRC offers conflict prevention and intervention services for businesses, organizations, individuals, and families. On a prevention level, the WDRC seeks to build the capacity of community members to better manage conflict as it arises, and to learn ways to minimize the possibility of it occurring. To this end, the WDRC offers training for adults and youth, all in an effort to build skills and reduce unproductive conflict.
Recognizing that conflict is a normal and natural part of life, and sometimes people and organizations need impartial assistance, the WDRC also provides mediation, facilitation, and coaching services.
WDRC’s work is made possible by support from our community
We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive from individuals, businesses, foundations, and government funders. With all of our programs served on a sliding scale, and many of them provided for free, community support is paramount to our ability to reach folks regardless of income. Over 68% of our clients fall within the Extremely Low to Very Low income range, demonstrating just how important it is to make our services financially accessible.
Each year we recognize our generous supporters in our Annual Report (links below). Interested in supporting our work? Make a donation here!
