Mediators Help Landlords and Tenants Resolve Small Claims

Mediation is about solving problems without the burdens and expenses of the court system. Volunteer mediators make sure that everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, has access to mediation services. Whether people are dealing with a fender bender or a contract dispute, you can help create the environment where disputing parties can sit down, discuss, and solve their problems. Volunteers will work with the Polk County Court Mediation Program through the Small Claims Division of the Fifth Judicial District Court. Volunteers will be assigned to the Polk County Courthouse. Volunteers 55 years old and over who enroll in the 55+ Initiative are eligible for transportation reimbursement. Training is required and will be provided.
