Our History

Mediation & Restorative Services began as a program in 1993 with the name Muskegon County Dispute Resolution Center (MCDRC) under the umbrella of the Muskegon County Cooperating Churches
1994 we were re-named the Westshore Dispute Resolution Center. Our service area grew to include Oceana, Mason and Manistee Counties. Our Articles of Incorporation were filed and we became a 501(c)3 on July 26th
In 2000 we became a United Way of the Lakeshore partner agency
In 2002 the first Restorative Justice mediation was conducted
December 2010 our name was changed to Mediation & Restorative Services to better reflect our service programs
