Triad RJ is looking for volunteers who share our vision for a more peaceful community through relationships, and want to invest their time in our youth. Impact Circles is a community-based diversion program that provides an alternative response for youth offenders using restorative justice practices. Community Justice Volunteers sit in a circle discussion with the youth and others involved in the incident to collective decide the best ways to hold the youth accountable and provide the support needed for transformation.
Youth are referred to our program from the juvenile court system or through school counselors. For youth facing court charges, successful completion of the program would result in a reduction or elimination of charges.
Currently Impact Circles are conducted on Wednesday eventings. Volunteers are asked to serve 1-2 times per month.
We are especially looking for individuals who can connect well with justice-involved youth, and those who may have overcome a difficult past (Background check is required, but results are evaluated on a case by case basis, so don't let that be a deterrent).
Passion required. Training & support will be provided.
