Volunteering
at NVMS
NVMS
has a continuing need for volunteer assistance to carry
out its important mission. While we do use volunteer
mediators in our community cases, our greatest need is in
the area of case management, program management and outreach.
That's why most of our volunteer and internship positions
are oriented around these tasks.
Mediators
Most of our mediator positions are filled by invitation
as we get to know mediators who take our training, volunteer
in our office or use our co-mediation services. However,
from time to time we need to add new experienced mediators,
Virginia certified mediators, or volunteer community mediators
to our roster. Use the application form on this page for
all mediator positions and just check the appropriate boxes
for your area of interest.

NVMS has many internship opportunities
each year and welcomes inquiries. Please review our internhship

Internships
are Usually Unpaid
Most internships are unpaid, but interns can gain valuable
experience in mediation, case management, working with clients
and nonprofit organizations. Some internships are occasionally
paid, usually through a grant, and we sometimes hire summer
and part-time help for our office. These are posted on our
site on the employment
page
Benefits for Volunteers &
Interns
Volunteers and interns who agree to work a minimum of 160
hours or more may be able to take advangtage of free training
