Two Ways to Participate

Become an RNW Volunteer: RNW's volunteer program is a year-long community service and mentor program. Our volunteer mediators work directly with people in disputes; easing tensions, establishing trust, helping the parties find solutions. With professional training and ongoing staff mentoring and support, volunteers gain the skills and confidence to mediate the most challenging and complex cases.

Professional Development: We have limited space for paid participants who are committed to solving conflict throughout their workplaces, organizations and community.
