Meet the Members

This year, as part of Volunteer Appreciation Week, NYSDRA would like to recognize the incomparable contributions of the CMSC AmeriCorps members who are dedicating their time this year to supporting host site CDRCs and their local community members, while continuing to deepen their skills as ADR practitioners. This year’s cohort has already completed over 150 hours of training and will perform over 6,000 hours of service by the completion of their 1 year service term.

About CMSC AmeriCorps

The Community Mediation Service Corps (CMSC), formerly Community Mediation School Corps, established in 2016, is a partnership between the New York State Dispute Resolution Association (NYSDRA) and several Community Dispute Resolution Centers (CDRCs), nonprofit NYSDRA members, across the state of New York. Programming is made possible through funding by the Corporation for State and National Community Service via AmeriCorps. Our goal is to help foster supportive local communities for youth by delivering high quality dispute resolution services to youth and families. CMSC Members serve in one of the following three specialties: School Based Conflict Resolution, CDRC Based Youth Services, or Family and Custody Visitation Services.
