Unique Details
Common Ground is a nonprofit consulting group in the Treasure Valley dedicated to successful conflict transformation, strategic planning, organizational collaboration, and training for communication and conflict resolution within organizations, families, individuals and our community. We also do contract work throughout the Northwest.
Common Ground provides services that are delivered by seasoned, professional and respected mediators, facilitators and workshop presenters. Before any work is completed, a free in-depth interview is conducted to clarify expectations and needs. After the interview, and prior to beginning our work, we provide clients with a proposal outlining the estimated charges and process.
