The Community Relations Service (CRS) is a federal agency under the U.S. Department of Justice that serves as America's Peacemaker, providing facilitated dialogue, mediation, training, and consultation to communities facing conflict based on race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability. CRS works to help these communities come together, develop solutions to the conflict, and enhance their capacity to prevent and resolve future conflicts.
As a neutral party, CRS collaborates with community groups, law enforcement, civil rights groups, government agencies, religious groups, and educational organizations to improve problem-solving abilities, strengthen partnerships, and prevent and respond to hate crimes. All CRS services are confidential, voluntary, and provided free of charge to the communities.
