Volunteer Opportunities
If you are interested in volunteering to help Coleman Mediation Services provide services to our communities, please fill out the Volunteer Application form, and someone will contact you directly.

Coleman Mediation Services relies on volunteers to:

  • Mediate
  • Assist with office duties
  • Perform case management
  • Conduct Outreach
  • Training

In order to qualify, a volunteer mediator needs to complete an application, attend an interview and complete a 20-hour-training class and internship. The internship involves participation in orientation, and the observation of several mediations. Training is conducted on an as-needed basis.
