WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

OUR MISSION

The mission of Community Mediation Upper Shore, Inc. (CMUS) is to build and provide community-based conflict resolution and peacebuilding services at no cost.

OUR VISION

Community Mediation Upper Shore, Inc. (CMUS) is committed to working together for sustainable peace and resilience in our community, where all will have the strategies, skills and support to resolve conflict.

OUR COMMUNITY

CMUS serves all residents of Kent and Queen Anne's Counties in Maryland.

OUR HISTORY

In 2000, the Honorable Chief Judge Bell of the MD Court of Appeals established the Maryland Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office (MACRO) to help advance alternative dispute resolution programs throughout Maryland. 
In 2002, community leaders worked with MACRO to establish a non-profit mediation center to serve five counties on the Eastern Shore, then known as Chester Valley Community Mediation Service (CVCMS). The effort was so successful that CVCMS divided its territory into two mediation centers. 
In 2006, CVCMS became Community Mediation Upper Shore (CMUS) to reflect the service area.  As of 2019, CMUS serves Kent and Queen Anne's counties.
​​There are now four mediation centers across nine counties on the Eastern Shore, all providing mediation services free of charge. 

THANK YOU TO OUR FUNDERS

We operate thanks to donations from community members like you and grants from the Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office, Department of Juvenile and Family Services, Kent Youth, Women and Girls Fund, Mid Shore Community Foundation, County Commissioners, the Fordi Family Foundation, and other contributions. Many of these grantors have matching funds requirements that your donations help us achieve.
