Whether you've taken MACRO's Bilingual Basic Mediation Training or are just considering it, we're building a pipeline for bilingual Spanish mediation trainees — from training, to practice with the Community Mediation Center of Calvert County, to certification and paid roles. As part of that, we're organizing a career fair for November 2, 6–8 PM, at the Calvert County Library in Prince Frederick (Room 3).
