Restorative Justice Volunteer Facilitator Interest

The Restorative Justice (RJ) Program


The Restorative Justice (RJ) program provides access to restorative practices and tools to meaningfully resolve concerns, as an alternative option to resolve conflict (e.g. disputes, discrimination complaints, employee relations, etc.). Participation in the RJ program is voluntary, individuals in conflict will be invited to consult with an RJ facilitator and participate in restorative conferences as an alternative means of resolution. The intention of the RJ program is to build community among employees and respond to conflict, with an emphasis on peer support and social responsibility.


The RJ program will also host community circles and conferences designed to give employees an opportunity to connect with one another and gain a greater understanding of community needs. These restorative practices support sustaining a positive working environment for a diverse workforce.


RJ Volunteer Facilitators


If you believe you have the ability, willingness, and comfortability to facilitate restorative conversations (e.g. social circles, and conferences) for the employee community, we invite you to apply for the RJ Volunteer Facilitator role.


RJ Volunteer Facilitators will receive training on how to facilitate restorative conversations. The program will provide supportive consultation and facilitation services whether working to implement restorative approaches or working through incidents of conflict or loss.


RJ Volunteer Facilitators Time Commitment


RJ Volunteer Facilitators will be asked to be available for up to 60 hours per calendar year. The 60 hours will include up to 24 hours of training and participating in ongoing RJ Program meetings.
