The Volunteer Process

Our team of volunteer mediators are an integral part of the Dispute Resolution Center's mission. All volunteer mediators are required to meet and complete the following requirements:

• 40-Hour Mediation Course.

• Our volunteers are expected to commit to mediate at least six (6) times per year.
• Eight (8) hours of Continuing Education are required each year.

This commitment helps us to ensure our clients' disputes are mediated by qualified mediators. It also ensures that our mediators continue to improve and refine their skills. All mediators are required to comply with the DRC Code of Ethics when mediating at the Center.
