A fellow Cohorcho (cohort 8) in the
CRES program at the University of Oregon and I have been given an amazing
opportunity. We have scored a great internship with the Centro Latino Americano
here in Eugene. The Centro is a great organization trying to help serve the
Latino community here in the Eugene area. They have many resources available
for people, such as counseling, youth mentoring and substance abuse resources
(just to name a few). We were introduced to the director from another grad
student on campus. We met with the director and talked about the possibility of
working together to continue on the dream of another student, which is to have
a mediation center for the Latino community at Centro. We will be working with
them to try and set up a mediation resource center. Needless to say, I am very
excited for his opportunity to combine my interest in mediation with my love of
the Latin culture.
