The DRC was afforded a recent opportunity to train elementary and middle-school aged students in Peer Mediation at the Ann Arbor Learning Community, a charter school in Ann Arbor. The staff members were given an overview of mediation, and advised on how to implement a Peer Mediation program for the 2009 – 2010 school year. The students went through 12 hours of training,

and emerged knowledgeable regarding the basics of Peer Mediation. It was a fun experience for staff and students alike. Along with the 12 students, two teachers, a school social worker, and one parent attended. Belinda Dulin and Claudia Young co-facilitated the training.
