My Nonprofit Reviews

I interned with the Dispute Resolution Center of Montgomery County, Inc., for the summer of 2021 and I only have good words for the organization! The work environment is so nice here! The staff were so welcoming, kind and helpful, they went out of their way to teach me all there is to know. The executive director, Ms. Roberts, went out of her way time and time again to answer all my questions, to share important and useful information and opportunities with me, and to tailor my experience perfectly for me. Ms. Roberts knows so much about this work, every time there was a situation during the mediations which the mediator(s) and I didn't know how to address, she always knew what to do and guided us accordingly. With her as an executive director I believe that everything is possible in the DRC. The volunteer mediators are also wonderful! They are so skilled at mediation, they have so much knowledge and they are also kind and caring. They love this work, and it shows! All of the mediators I spoke with and got to know told me that they mediate because it's their passion, or their mission. Some of them have been mediating for many years and I would like to say that they are among the best at this work. They know and have practiced many techniques for making sure that the mediation goes smoothly. They were also so willing to help me, many of them set time aside to have a one-on-one conversation to me and to answer my many questions. I am forever grateful to the staff and to the volunteers who went out of their way to mentor me. This was my dream internship, and the best internship I think I could have ever come across. If you book a mediation with the DRC, you are definitely in good hands!
