Volunteer Mediator
I have loved sitting down with people and helping them through the crisis/conflict that they find themselves in. The staff at CJI are great, and they are always willing to lend a listening ear or give advice on how to approach a case. They have ongoing Peer Support nights that help educate and get to know the other mediators. Awesome Experience!
