Practicum Program

Practicum Program is offered to bridge the gap between classroom training and real mediations. This program gives newly trained mediators an opportunity to gain hands-on mediation experience. The accepted practicum trainees will participate as observers, before moving into co-mediator positions by self-assessing through a mock roleplay, before becoming solo mediators, under the direction of the Volunteer Coordinator. A debriefing will be held following mediations in which the trainee can ask questions. Practicum mediations are scheduled individually with each trainee through the Volunteer Coordinator. Prior volunteer mediators are welcome to attend a Practicum Orientation to be reintroduced back into the volunteer pool. Practicum Orientations are held every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
