The Program

The Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center (PCRC) is the leading non-profit on the Peninsula dedicated to alternative dispute resolution and communication. Our collaborative philosophy largely builds on interests-based approach to conflict resolution. We provide mediation, facilitation and training services and we work to engage the community and empower youth and families. Through the Engaging Communities Initiative, we work with local government to engage with the community on a breadth of subjects that impact public policy. Some examples include dialogues on housing, transportation, immigration, as well as other topics. Additionally, PCRC assists with needs assessments from the community’s perspective. PCRC is looking for volunteers who are dedicated to empowering the communities we serve.

The Position

We are looking for volunteers to lead community dialogues and discussions, co-develop a meeting agenda, and be able to facilitate the meeting, including keeping to the agenda and managing meeting time and goals. The ideal candidates will have an understanding of historically underrepresented communities, either through personal or professional experience, good meeting management skills, and be able to exercise cultural humility in the course of his/her work. Because of the nature of the work and the unpredictability of the discussions we might be asked to facilitate, we need volunteers who can exercise some degree of flexibility with scheduling. This opportunity lends itself well to folks who are looking for ways to have an impact on their community!

Candidates must also:

• Be comfortable with public speaking.
• Be able to read the audience and adapt as necessary.
• Be able to scribe or take notes.
• Be able to work in a team or independently.
