Who We Are

The Upstate Mediation Center (UMC) is a community based non-profit organization providing high-quality, affordable mediation services to individuals, families, and businesses in conflict in the Upstate of South Carolina. Since its creation in 1999, the UMC has provided mediation services in hundreds of conflicts each year. Mediation may be mandated, requested by either party in a dispute, or referred by professionals or individuals in the community.

What We Do

Mediation is a private, confidential decision-making process in which an impartial facilitator, the mediator, assists disputing parties in structured negotiation.

Our Board

Our diverse team is full of people devoted to helping people save time, money, and heartache with mediation.
