To Volunteer: We typically run Basic Restorative Justice Trainings two times a year, in the spring and fall. If you are interested in learning more about restorative justice in general and the Concord and Carlisle models in particular, please consider participating in these opportunities. Training times are usually Friday evening (6:00 to 9:00 PM) and all day Saturday (9:00 AM- 4:00 PM). The training is experiential- we have found most people learn by doing, but we also work to create a foundation for this learning by presenting on theory, principles and concepts of Restorative Justice. Role plays are used as a way to apply what we have learned and practice skills in the process. We welcome both youth and adult volunteers. Both offer valuable perspectives and insights. Click on the following link for our volunteer application form. For our trainees, after the Basic training is completed, you will shadow an experienced facilitator through two or more cases. The next step is to be the lead facilitator in a case with a seasoned volunteer as your shadow. There is constant supervision and support throughout the process. We set aside a few slots for individuals, outside our two towns, to participate in our trainings. This is a part of outreach to the wider community in an effort to educate the pubic on restorative justice.
