    From Intern to Staff Member
    I began working as an intern in the fall of 2009 with 7 others; it was great meeting such interesting students who were like me, excited about becomng a mediator. Within our group we spoke five languages; I come from a multi-cultural background, and one of my passions is to travel and discover new cultures, so it was a delight to work among a group of talented students from other countries at APADRC.

    Coro Fellow Placed at APADRC
    For about three weeks, Parsa Sobhani, a Fellow from Coro was placed at APADRC to work on media strategy. APADRC does not have a dedicated media relations manager which hinders our ability to constantly promote ourselves and our programs to the media. Parsa developed a media strategy that will help us maintain a presence in the media in order to bring about awareness of our programs and events. Although it was a short placement, it definitely expanded our ability to work with the media

    Volunteer Opportunities
    Are you ever the one who help your friends resolve their differences or how about the family member who keeps the peace? If so, you have the skills to be a mediator. A mediator is a neutral third party that helps people having a conflict talk abot their problems so a solution can be reached. Oftentimes, people in a conflict are so emotionally riled up they can't think straight. A mediator helps people keep calm and see the other point of view.

    "Defense" is not Fighting
    The school year is well underway and we've handled a steady stream of cases at King Middle School and King/Drew High School, as well as our partner school University High. Though the cases that come through our program rarely deviate beyond the rumor gone bad or bumping in the hall, I have come to notice a trend in the students' thinking that is somewhat troubling.
