Our mission at MARS is to help residents of Anoka County and neighboring communities to resolve their own conflicts and repair harm, by providing accessible, affordable mediation and restorative services. Benefits of becoming a volunteer mediator includes learning valuable conflict resolution skills, serving your community in peace-making effort, growing personally and professionally, and receiving peer support. As a volunteer mediator, you will be expected to fill out an application, commitment agreement, personal interview and orientation session. You will complete a 30-Hour Rule 114 training that covers the skills needed for conflict resolution and mediation. Volunteer mediators must adhere to our policy of confidentiality. While most mediations are occurring remotely during COVID-19, there is sometimes a need for an in-person mediations, when permitted by state and CDC guidelines.
