Upstate Mediation Center

Upstate Mediation Center is a mediation service in Greenville, SC. As a community-based non-profit organization, they provide high-quality, affordable mediation services to individuals, families, and businesses in conflict throughout the Upstate of SC. Their specialized services include family, civil, probate, magistrate, and police mediation.

Since its creation in 1999, the organization has provided mediation for hundreds of conflicts each year. The center offers a private, confidential decision-making process where an impartial facilitator assists disputing parties in structured negotiation. Their approach is designed to be a voluntary alternative to the adversarial court process, aiming to restore and strengthen community relationships. To ensure accessibility, the center provides services at a flat rate based on income and does not refuse services due to an inability to pay. The organization is managed by an Executive Director and a mediation coordinator, supported by a volunteer board of directors.

The center is located on Cleveland St in Greenville, a short walk from Sue Simpson Garden Park, Cancer Survivors Park, and the Pollinator Garden.

The Upstate Mediation Center is recognized for its long-standing commitment to the region, celebrating 25 years of service. Their dedication to the community is reflected in receiving the 2024 Cotton Harness Peace Award.
