The mission of Community Mediation & Restorative Services is to empower the community to resolve conflicts and repair harm respectfully. Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with Kendrick Walton to discuss his new role within our organization. Kendrick joined us in October 2021 and participated in the African American Leadership Forum in June 2023. Check out our feature on Kendrick below! 👇
Did you know that CMRS’s schools program strives to support schools in fostering communities where everyone feels a sense of belonging, connection, and respect?
We envision a community where schools are able to collaboratively reimagine “the way we’ve always done it” into something that intentionally brings compassion for all; where open-minded and honest conversations are able to take root and grow. Our services focus on increasing school capacity to build community and repair harm. We utilize a variety of restorative practices to support this goal, including talking circles, mediation, and restorative conferences.
If you’d like to learn more about any of these services, please feel free to reach out.

📣🎉Are you joining us on September 30th for our Fundraising Performance? We are excited to announce that Nur-D will be one of our performers!
NUR-D isn’t your typical hip-hop artist. Hailing from Minnesota, he’s bringing something fresh to the scene—hip-hop packed with personality, high-energy performances, and a kaleidoscopic mix of influences. Think contemporary rap infused with the pageantry of ‘80s glam rock, with a sprinkle of pop and funk. Its music made for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit in. Performing alongside national acts like MisterWives, Ludacris, Tyler The Creator, and the Grammy Award winning Minnesota Orchestra, Nur-D is well on his way to becoming a household name!
We are beyond grateful for all of our sponsors for our upcoming Community Mediation & Restorative Services Fundraising Performance on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
In addition to a great evening, we will have an auction with amazing trip deals, spa baskets, and gift cards, as well as a 50/50 raffle.

Since 1983, Community Mediation & Restorative Services, Inc. (CMRS) has been dedicated to helping individuals move from conflict to resolution and from harm to healing through respectful and confidential mediation and restorative processes. We believe many of our community’s most pressing issues - housing instability, youth conflict, family, workplace, neighborhood discord - stem from an unresolved dispute or offense.
With trained volunteer mediators and facilitators, and with local communities, schools and courts, CMRS is systematically changing the way our community addresses conflict. Participants are able to craft their own lasting solutions, acknowledge harm, come together and restore community.
In addition to providing mediation and restorative services, CMRS provides a wide variety of training opportunities and shares in leadership for regional and statewide mediation and restorative justice initiatives. More information is available at www.CMRSmn.org
