Community Mediation Volunteer Opportunity Event!

Community Mediation Upper Shore is a non-profit organization with offices in Cecil and Kent Counties.  CMUS works exclusively with a Volunteer Team to provide services, at no charge, to community members.  Our volunteer mediators work directly with people in disputes; easing tensions, establishing trust, and helping participants find solutions.  Volunteers may also choose to volunteer their time in a local mediation center, assisting with events and fundraisers, and assisting with programs and outreach opportunities.
