Peer Mediation Training
The Center for Dispute Resolution is coordinating a peer mediation training for college students. This training will cover a variety of topics, including the causes and dynamics of conflict, listening skills, negotiation theory, interests vs. positions, getting at the real goals in a conflict, how diversity and power impact conflict, mediation techniques and much more!
Interested in this training? Please sign up for our contact list! We will be setting the training date and time based on the schedules of those attending.
Mentoring Volunteer Opportunity
Last year the CDR piloted a peer mediation program in area high schools – this year we are expanding the program to additional middle and high schools in Springfield.
This expansion provides an exciting opportunity for trained college students to mentor budding “peer mediators” in these schools. As a volunteer you’ll have the opportunity to mediate selected cases in these schools and to coach and support high-school and middle-school peer mediators.
