Matching Mentor/Mentee Pairs
Mentors and Mentees will be matched based in part upon interests and expertise in such areas as for example, Family, Property or Employment issues. The committee will also consider other factors when making a match including stated communication styles to best facilitate the ease of information and feedback transfer.
In-Person/Virtual Training
Training and Mentoring sessions may be held virtually or in-person based on the cohorts desire. Please click on this link for an Application and more information about becoming a Mentee.

Programs TBD 2026 | Training for Mediators |
MCDR is the oldest membership-based organization in Maryland dedicated to promoting the use of mediation and supporting
the mediation profession. We have a proud history of successfully advocating for allowing multiple professions to practice mediation,
halting attempts to restrict the practice some fifteen years ago. MCDR is the first organization to establish performance based criteria
now in use as a national model, part of an ongoing dialogue on quality assurance and mediator credentials.
