About me
Who is Jonathan?
Hello, I’m Jonathan Ciriaco — a certified mediator, conflict resolution professional, and community-centered leader. I help individuals, families, and organizations move through conflict with clarity, empathy, and results-driven solutions.
My background bridges multiple worlds. I’m certified in life and career coaching, offering a grounded yet forward-thinking approach to personal and professional development. But my primary focus is in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) — where I’ve received legal mediation training through the IMCR Dispute Resolution Center in New York, and Phoenix Dispute Solutions, an IMI-qualified institution specializing in international and cross-border mediation.
This blend of domestic and global conflict resolution training allows me to approach disputes with a broader lens — rooted in proven mediation frameworks, informed by diverse cultural contexts, and aligned with the principles of professional impartiality.
In addition to private mediation, I serve as the President and Co-Founder of Envoy Culture, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working across New York City to empower underserved communities. From launching college scholarships to running youth leadership initiatives, I’ve led programs that combine education, civic engagement, and faith-based values to create lasting impact.
My work in churches, schools, and nonprofits gives me a unique understanding of human dynamics — especially in environments where relationships, values, and organizational structures intersect. I’ve facilitated youth development groups, led workshops, and mediated disputes in spaces where trust and transformation go hand-in-hand.
Whether you’re an attorney, an executive, a ministry leader, or someone navigating a personal dispute — I bring both professional discretion and human-centered guidance to every conversation.
If you’re looking for an experienced, culturally responsive mediator who values resolution over escalation, I’d be honored to work with you.
