“I have had the distinguished pleasure of collaborating with Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center in multiple initiatives aimed to promote a positive school climate, cultivate vibrant professional peer support networks and restore trusting relationships with community partners. Staff is racially/culturally diverse with shared lived experience and expertise in interrupting inequities and building shared leadership.”
“I have hired workers from the Center many times. Always a positive experience and have been pleasantly surprised by the skill level. BTW, as of January 2022, the Resource Center on 5th Ave. has relocated to 171 North Amphlett, San Mateo.”
“They are very nice, I hope some people donate some money to them because they help me before, but the weather hit my place end damage...so I need a ramp to be able to my room with my power chair but they don't have money at this time”
“Wanted to know if I can donate items I sew so I checked them out in person. I can make an appt, they will take my items and I don't have to leave my car. Very friendly and happy to get my items and I'm so happy to donate to them ? A win/win ☺️”
“Being thankful not only shows good manners, but a simple expression of thankfulness can go a long way in relationships and communication with others. It not only enhances our own lives, but makes other people feel appreciated,”

“Life Moves - First Step San Mateo...My children and I were delighted to get to know this 1000-note institution! There we were supported, protected and represented. Very happy to meet this family, formed by the best professionals, trained to encourage, less favored families, to progress ... Gratitude!”
“I truly do not have enough words for this organization and the humanitarian love, respect, and amazing people involved. Each day, I keep on reminding myself that I will pay-forward in the countless ways that they have supported me. CORA Center, and their remarkable staff, are those I pray for everyday. They are selfless, operate with kindness, and I remain blessed to cross their path. It was an honor to have the opportunity to engage with them, and even knowing, that if I ever need them again.”
“My wife and I were married at the San Mateo Arboretum in June of 2019, it just occurred to me I should post a review! We were very happy with the venue, we had the wedding out in the garden with about 52 people. We used the Pump House to stage things, and had the buffet tables outside. We were able to bring in a catering truck with a pizza oven, and the caterer provided the servers to stage the food and serve the drinks. Our contact helped us with the logistics and was there for the event, when there was an issue with another event in the park blocking the access she quickly worked it out with them and got the path cleared. There are some limitations to work with: no real kitchen for cooking, no dishwashing, and the interior would be cramped for 45 people, so hope for clear weather and bring a mobile caterer. Don't expect to play really loud music or have a big dance party on the grass. But for a small low-key wedding the garden is fantastic, and makes a wonderful backdrop. The price is very affordable, and we were able to book it with 4 months notice, so it was a very good option for us... Highly recommended if it fits your needs!”
