Help us build community capacity to address conflict at an early stage. Attend our next Community Mediation Class and build your key mediator skills; listen with intent, ask engaging questions, and de-escalation techniques. After completion of the class, participants will lead efforts to pinpoint community conflict and employ community mediation processes in making systemic change. We ask applicants to commit to volunteering as community mediators in their neighborhoods, on community decision-making bodies (boards, associations, task forces, etc.), and at the Center.
Completion of this 28-hour training will prepare participants to mediate community disputes. Completion of this training does not qualify one to mediate disputes ordered through the Courts. If you are interested in Court referred mediation and registering with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution as a neutral, please apply for our next General Civil Mediation Training.
