VCDS' Vision - The Ventura Center for Dispute Settlement believes that placing a value on relationships is the key to building a stronger community. We believe this can be accomplished by enabling people to disagree in a respectful way and by encouraging, trusting and helping members in our community to resolve their own conflicts.
VCDS' Mission - The mission of the Ventura Center for Dispute Settlement is to foster the ideals, practice and awareness of mediation as an alternative to confrontational forms of dispute resolution. We do this through training mediators, educating the public, and providing programs to make mediation accessible to the citizens of Ventura County.
