Our community is what makes the ADR and conflict resolution field so special. From practitioners to thought-leaders, healers to educators, we recognize the diversity of professionals that still manage to share one goal: helping others reach resolution amidst differences. 

Getting started in conflict resolution can feel daunting, confusing, and overwhelming. Since there’s no one way to get started in our field, we decided to compile the stories of a few community members to share how they got started in ADR and conflict resolution. These stories shed light on how each person became connected to the community, how they established their career, and what they wish they knew when first getting started. We hope these videos can help give you some ideas about where to start, whether you're a recent graduate or are making a career change later in life. 

(This video library will continue to grow, so watch this space for more stories! If you'd like to share your "How I Got Started" video, contact admin@acrgny.org.)
