It Pays to be a Volunteer

January 9, 2020 by ormediate

OMA awarded 11 scholarships for community dispute resolution center (CDRC) volunteer mediators for the 2019 OMA Conference.  Volunteering with a CDRC is a wonderful opportunity for new mediators to gain experience, make connections in the mediator world, gain valuable mentoring opportunities and even attend the fall conference at a discounted rate.  Even experienced mediators often find volunteering with CDRCs very helpful.  They stay connected to their community, give back by mediating community and neighborhood issues and take advantage of the CDRCs continuing education opportunities.  There are 16 CDRCs in Oregon, reach out to your local center and explore what opportunities they may have for you!   https://law.uoregon.edu/explore/ADR-local-centers

The Oregon Mediation Association

Welcome to OMA

Conflict is a natural part of life. Managed intentionally, conflict can positively transform lives and relationships. Mediators are trained to understand the source of conflicts and identify a path away from adversarial positions toward positive growth and change. Mediators create a safe space to have difficult conversations. The Oregon Mediation Association works to build greater awareness of mediation as a useful conflict management tool.

OMA in a Nutshell

OMA is a network of practitioners and supporters who are committed to the development, support and advocacy of mediation in Oregon.

Mission

OMA's mission is to help Oregonians transform the way they confront and resolve conflict in their personal lives and in their communities.
