Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Envisioning a fair community that learns from conflict, prevents harm, and grows in understanding, the Community Justice & Mediation Center's (CJAM) mission is to promote a civil and just community through mediation, education, and restorative justice. CJAM accomplishes its mission by leveraging the time and talents of community members who serve as volunteer mediators and facilitators, office support staff, interns, and board committee members.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Envisioning a fair community that learns from conflict, prevents harm, and grows in understanding, the Community Justice & Mediation Center's (CJAM) mission is to promote a civil and just community through mediation, education, and restorative justice.

  • Restorative Justice: CJAM provided restorative processes to 138 clients (youths, adults and family members) through the Victim and Offender Restoration Program (VORP) and Shoplifting and Theft Education Program (STEP). Both programs provide education, accountability, and reflection aimed at reducing harms caused by crime and lowering rates of recidivism. In VORP, CJAM works with clients (offenders) and their victims. 80 clients were served and 65% of offenders successfully completed the program. STEP targets first-time offenders who have been charged with theft or shoplifting. 58 individuals were served and 70% successfully completed the program. Clients are primarily referred by the Monroe County (MC) Prosecutor's office, and the MC Probation Department.

    Expenses $36,700 · Revenue $1,640

  • Mediation: CJAM provided free or very low-cost mediation services to 1090 clients in the following areas: conflicts involving landlords-tenants, neighbors/hoods, families, roommates, organizational/workplace disputes, and consumer/contractual disputes. Trained CJAM volunteer mediators worked to provide safe spaces for constructive conversations,helping parties reach agreements that best meet their individual needs. CJAM also provided mediation each week during small claims and eviction court (544 cases) with 70% of all mediated cases reaching agreement. In addition, CJAM provided conflict coaching and referrals (111). CJAM continued to work closely with Monroe County courts and the Eviction Prevention Project to provide mediation services each week during eviction and small claims courts

    Expenses $61,166

  • Conflict Resolution, Facilitation, Mediation and Restorative Justice Training: CJAM provides two professional trainings per year for basic mediation and restorative justice. This training prepares community members, college students, and local professionals to utilize conflict resolution skills and mediation in their communities. This training also readies its graduates to become community mediators for CJAM programs. The training is taught by CJAM staff. CJAM also provides training and consultation to organizations, businesses, and groups. These trainings range across the different skills and processes that are within conflict resolution, mediation, and restorative justice. In addition to training, CJAM offers facilitation processes and consultation. We served 175 clients through training and facilitation.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 19 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
