Basic Mediation Training - April 23-25, May 1-2, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. This 35-hour training introduces participants to the theory, principles, and practice of mediation in the Transformative Mediation framework to prepare them to mediate community disputes as a volunteer with the Center for Dispute Settlement.
We are honored to recognize Jamie Foster as our Staff Feature! Jamie has been a volunteer mediator with CDS since 2019, and joined staff as a program manager with the Yates and Ontario County offices in August 2024. Jamie specializes in case management and mediation.
In light of the current administration’s recent executive orders, I want to assure our community of peacemakers that CDS will continue to stay on course to implement our programs and services, in service of our mission “to use and promote peaceful dispute resolution processes throughout our communities.”
Join the staff at the Center for Dispute Settlement (CDS) for a virtual presentation about becoming a mediator. This session is appropriate for anyone interested in beginning their mediation journey, enhancing their mediation skills, or seeking personal or professional development.
