The Mediation Center is looking for volunteers who want to assist in mediation.

The Mediation Center is a nonprofit organization that serves the surrounding area. The Mediation Center has been around since 1984 and mediation services are free. Mediation improves relationships, decreases future violence, and decrease community members’ use of police and courts to resolve interpersonal problems. 

 The Center is looking for people who want to join its team of volunteer community mediators. As a mediator you will help people in the community move through difficult and stressful conflict by having productive conversations that put relationships first.

The Mediation Center needs volunteer mediators in Henderson, Polk, and Transylvania counties, and training will begin on August 29 in Hendersonville. The Mediation Center has experienced a large increase in people seeking our services in these counties and are excited to bring new volunteer mediators in to serve more people.  

Mediators work together in pairs to mediate interpersonal community conflict, including conflicts between neighbors, family members, and friends. Mediation is confidential, voluntary, and non-judgmental. 

Free training is available for accepted applicants. Anyone interested is invited to complete the application at this link.
