• Provide mediation at the MCQC office at 805 W, 35^th Street, Davenport on a variety of disputes, such as neighborhood, landlord, workplace, etc

• Consult with businesses requesting help in high conflict departments within their organizations.

• Conduct intake interviews with people inquiring about mediation services.

• Help with mediation trainings.

• Provide mini-educational presentations throughout the community to organizations that would like more information on what the mediation center provides and how it serves the community at large.
