Volunteer

As a volunteer with Six Rivers Dispute Resolution Center Services, your time, commitment and efforts are greatly appreciated and highly valued. Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of a growing commitment to the peaceful resolution of conflict!

Board Member Service
We maintain a board of 7-9 people on 2-year terms that alternate annually. The board is responsible for ensuring the financial well-being of the organization, as well as ensuring that the strategic mission and vision of Six Rivers is achieved.  The board meets monthly, with breaks in August and December, and the overall time commitment is about 5 hours/month. Please contact us if you are interested in potentially serving as a board member.

Volunteers with our Restorative Justice Program
Six Rivers has opportunities for volunteers to participate in our restorative justice program. Restorative justice seeks to examine the impact of an act of harm on a survivor and then determines what can be done to repair that harm while holding the person who caused harm accountable for their actions. 

Volunteers participate in circle meetings which address harms between individuals. Since harm between two people also impacts a community, it is important to have volunteers from the community who also participate in circles.  To volunteer with this program, you must participate in a training and commit to the entire length of a circle process.

Volunteer Mediators
To volunteer with Six Rivers DRC as a community mediator, you must complete the Basic Mediation Training and Practicum requirements. More information at https://6rivers.org/training/.  The 40 hour Basic Mediation training is offered at various other locations throughout the state and by other Community Dispute Resolution Programs. Six Rivers is able to accept a limited number of students in our Mediator Practicum Program each year.
