Our core training, The Basics of Mediation, is the Bay Area’s most comprehensive and affordable training for those wishing to learn and practice mediation. In addition, Beyond the Basics is an advanced, two-day training that will grow and enhance mediation skill sets.

Our calendar of Conflict Resolution Clinics provide intensive 2-hour workshops covering a wide range of topics.

We also schedule a range of half- and full-day Additional Trainings throughout the year. They give in-depth, highly interactive introductions to important topics relevant to mediators, conflict coaches, and facilitators wishing to stay on top of their game.

Our members receive significant discounts on all trainings.  Learn more about joining Community Boards’ Membership Program.
