MEDIATION LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Tiger Team Volunteer Leadership Opportunities
Help the world learn to "fight right" (more effectively & less harmfully). It's an exciting time to be a part of our small & fast-growing nonprofit. We offer great opportunities in the fields of non-profit and mediation. Leadership positions are currently volunteer-based, soon to be volunteer-to-hire based on our funding. Weekends & after hours, okay...Great! Find out more; email your questions & a brief Bio/CV/resume to info@socalfm.org.
SC FAMILY MEDIATION MEDIATORS ARE EXCEPTIONAL
- We do not require a law degree.
- Mediators should be volunteer professionals, not professional volunteers. Since 2019, based on funds, we've shared honorariums with our volunteers.
- We employ the co-mediation model of two mediators per mediation, so you'll always be learning.
- We mediate on weekdays only, beginning with our famously popular Pre-Mediation Micro-Trainings at 7:45am Pacific Time to (possibly as late as) 4:00pm Pacific Time.
- We require mediators to co-mediate at least one day every other week, preferring every week.
- 40-Hour Advanced Family and Dependency Mediation training is required by the courts and offered by us.

#1 for 2022: ODR Mediation Family Success Rate, 88% #1 for 2021: ODR Mediation Family Success Rate,
Something special is happening here. Everything begins with our amazing administration team. They set the tone, in preparation for each mediation. Parents and mediators alike appreciate the extra support and attention provided by these charismatic and caring professionals.
We provide "distance mediations" on-line. Some, but not all of our mediators will eventually return to in-person mediations at the courthouses once it seem safe and they fully reopen.
Bring your beginner's mind. Learn to adapt and innovate styles & strategies. You will be helping underserved & underfunded families & children in dire need of agreements.
A frequent reason given for satisfaction with mediating with this program is the quality and commitment of our team members.

So what's the catch?
- The most challenging mediations can take a half day to a full day to resolve. There's no way around it, a full weekday commitment (8:00AM to 4:00PM) is required, at least every other week.
- We invest heavily in our mediators, and ask for a minimum two-year (48-mediation) commitment in return (but we really want you for life).
