The Youth in Mediation Class is a program where students are trained and receive a certificate for Parent-Teen and Victim Offender mediation. The students augment their basic mediation skills by participating in one-on- one instructor feedback, video tape review, lecture, role plays, and activities. The students learn many advanced skills about mediating with youth such as co-mediation, questioning, power imbalance, future focus, and relationship-based mediation techniques followed by an opportunity to apply the skills learned in a 39-hour practicum. With flexible practicum hours students can tailor projects to fit their schedules.
