Descriptions: Administered by the City of Davis Parks & Recreation Department since 1987, the Davis Community Mediation Service has provided a free, confidential service to Davis parties with dispute, offering an alternative to the often difficult, costly, and painful traditional legal routes. Disputes which are not legal in nature can also be resolved. Participation is voluntary and are records are strictly confidential. The Service provides a forum for peaceful resolution of conflicts involving problems between tenants and landlords, customers and merchants, neighbors, friends, roommates, and other interpersonal relationships, before they result in court action or escalate into acts of violence. All parties involved with the conflict meet with a panel of two or three trained mediators where each party has the opportunity to air his/her grievance. No police reports or legal records are made or kept during the meeting(s). All mediation is conducted in an informal setting, and the panel does not decide who is right or wrong, but assists the parties involved to find their own solution. Meetings usually occur ten days after an initial call regarding the conflict. The resulting agreement can be legally binding or not, depending upon the participants' wishes. The Service also provides information and referral assistance in cases of discrimination in housing and employment. Volunteer mediators are trained and currently the Service operates with a mostly volunteer staff of 25 mediators. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may attend the 32-hour training session. Information packets are mailed upon request. Keywords: Counseling

Descriptions: "Solid As A Rock" youth group is part of Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Our youth group has a membership of 80 students, but actual attendance is in the 20-25 range. The students are 5th thru 12th graders. We are a non-profit organization and this year, for the first time, we did not receive a budget to work with, so mostly we have to rely on fundraisers. Our youth group is involved in service to the community in a variety of ways: we help the Lazarus Club with set-up for funerals, our dancers perform for schools and convalescent homes, we help with the Woodland Ecumenical Christmas Baskets; participate in ACS Relay for Life; the Christmas Parade; etc. Because I am the only adult working with the group, it is difficult to break into groups since an adult has to always be present. I am looking for interns to help in the following areas: music/drama/dance. We are interested in starting a contemporary worship band - I have the students, they have their instruments, but no director. Our dance group is a hip/hop, old school, salsa/merengue group. Would like someone who knows praise worship dance to provide assistance. Need creative, energetic, vibrant people to help. Preferably of the Catholic faith.

Descriptions: Horseplay is a year-round riding program, affiliated with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, that provides structured riding sessions for disabled children and adults. The program offers three 45-minute Saturday morning sessions, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., two sessions on Tuesday evenings, 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., and one Wednesday evening session, 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Through riding, our participants relax, develop self-esteem and physical strength and coordination. We need volunteers to lead the horses and walk alongside the horse to encourage and stabilize the rider as needed. You do not need experience with special needs students or horses, just enthusiasm and the ability to follow instructions. You aren't required to commit to volunteering every Saturday, but it's helpful if you are available at least one Saturday a month. More information is available on-line at http://www.horseplayriding.org. Riding is the highlight of the week for many of our riders; join us and experience the joy of creating a positive experience for our riders while hanging out with horses and great people!
