This is a two-day, introductory restorative justice facilitator training. It introduces participants to restorative justice principles and skills needed to conduct a community group conference. A reading assignment will be given on the first day to be completed prior to the second day.

 

Community Group Conferencing is a powerful restorative justice process which brings together offenders, victims, families, and community members in order to develop workable agreements that can lead to repair of harm, victim voice, offender learning and community building.

 

Participants are encouraged to volunteer with a restorative justice program subsequent to this training for on-going support and additional experience conducting conferences.
