Many Hands Makes Joyful Work

Posted by Heverton.Oliveira

What better time than Volunteer Recognition Week to take a moment to thank and honour the many volunteers making our community bright.

Whether providing the public information about their options for conflict resolution at a table in the courthouse, a booth at a small business event, creating scavenger hunts, leading workshops,  or coaching conflict and communication skills – you make conflict resolution pop!

Volunteering is an enriching experience for everyone involved. Mediate BC benefits enormously as you help us provide a much broader public outreach than we could otherwise. Volunteering also helps promote your practices, connect with other mediators and provide a real value to the public.

We hope to provide even more opportunities in the coming year. Keep an eye out for calls for volunteers in our newsletters. If you would like to get involved, and if you have ideas for new avenues for Mediate BC and our Roster Mediators to support your organization or community through volunteering, please get in touch!
