COMMUNITY MEDIATION INTEREST GROUP (CMIG)

So, you've completed basic mediation training and you're raring to go. Your local community mediation center most likely has mediation opportunities for you, along with an assortment of newsletters, training sessions and social gatherings for volunteer mediators.

Are you wondering about the big picture,and how you can be involved at a statewide level? CMIG may be just what you want.

CMIG stands for Community Mediation Interest Group. It is a collaborative effort of the Alliance for Community Mediation and the Oregon Mediation Association (OMA) to provide support to volunteer mediators in Oregon.  CMIG is open to community mediators from across Oregon, regardless of OMA membership status.

 CMIG Benefits
