As we celebrate this year’s Volunteer Week, we extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated volunteer mediators—who generously give their time, compassion, and expertise to support individuals and families navigating the challenges of conflict. Your commitment to creating a safe, respectful space for open dialogue has helped countless neighbours and loved ones find common ground, rebuild trust, and move forward with hope. Your calm presence and skillful guidance are often the turning point in deeply emotional and complex situations.
The work you do is not easy, but it is profoundly meaningful. You help transform tension into understanding, and estrangement into reconnection. In a world where conflict can so easily divide, your service brings healing, unity, and peace. Thank you for showing up, listening deeply, and helping people see that resolution is possible. We are endlessly inspired by your compassion, resilience, and unwavering belief in the power of dialogue
On behalf of the Staff and Trustees of Alternatives to Conflict, we say Thank you!
