The mission of CRU Institute is to teach young people effective, peaceful ways to resolve conflict and to develop understanding, respect, and the ability to cooperate with others in a multicultural world.  CRU Institute teaches young people conflict resolution skills and encourages understanding and awareness of cultural differences. We help schools and other youth organizations establish structured mediation programs where students act as mediators for other students in dispute.  Our goal is to teach young people that differences are not to be feared, but respected, and that working cooperatively to problem solve is an important life skill.
