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. 

Questions? Reach out to Teneal at teneal@triadrj.org

Triad Restorative Justice is looking for an additional van driver to help with transportation for our youth programs as a back-up for when our regular driver is unavailable.

Transportation shifts are:

Background checks and driving records are required. Triad RJ also provides an orientation for all volunteers.

Triad Restorative Justice is looking for someone to provide child-care services and supervision when additional support is needed.

This organization need women volunteer mentors to provide positive support to women offenders/ex-offenders. As a mentor, you will start by building a positive rapport, with the woman, while she remains detained at the Forsyth Detention Center, at least two visits per month. Upon the mentee's release, the mentor, will provide support to the woman by assisting in the navigation process of  re-integrating back into the community.  If you have a passion to help "women" offenders/ex-offenders please contact us.

The Forsyth Sponsoring Committee (FSC) seeks to connect with additional leaders of institutions who want to engage their people in developing leadership skills and organizing for justice.  

We are building an “organization of organizations” that will strengthen relationships, develop leaders, conduct listening campaigns reaching thousands of residents, and plan public actions on the issues identified (for example: educational equity, health care, housing, living wages, immigrant rights, environmental justice, etc.).

We invite leaders of congregations, nonprofits, neighborhood and tenants’ associations, cultural associations, sports leagues, and other institutions in the civic sector to learn more and consider joining the 20+ institutions that have already committed to ‘sponsor’ the building of this new organization.  Potential member institutions should be able to build a ‘core team’ of 5-15 leaders who participate regularly and engage your broader membership in the organizing process.

As a first step, interested leaders should arrange a meeting with the local organizer to share your story and hopes for our community and learn more about the IAF organizing effort (please contact Megan Gregory at megan.nciaf@gmail.com or 847-287-7794).  Then, if you think this effort may align with your mission, we can schedule an information session and conversation with your leadership team to discuss further.  

We also have ongoing opportunities to engage in leadership training, relationship-building, and organizing activities (internal strategy meetings, listening sessions to determine collective priorities, research-actions, and public actions on issues identified by the collective).  The organizer can share about upcoming opportunities depending on where the larger collective is in the organizing process.

For more information, please see: https://bit.ly/Forsyth-IAF-Invitation (in Spanish: https://bit.ly/Forsyth-IAF-Invitacion). 

We have inherited white supremacy’s multigenerational theft of wealth, power, and truth in the body of Christ. While this injustice is not white people’s fault, it is our responsibility as followers of Jesus. To that end, Repair the Body Winston-Salem (RTB) is a grassroots and multi-institutional effort that seeks reparative justice in the church. Furthermore, RTB pursues this goal in partnership with, and under the leadership of, a collective of local Black pastors, Black churches, and Black-led grassroots organizations. Together, we long for racial healing and repair in the body of Christ! 

If you are interested in learning more, please contact Clay Cooke.

Common Prayer follows in the line of ancient Israel, Jesus, and the early church’s practice of thrice-daily prayer. It also follows in the line of the ‘divine office,’ practiced by many intentional Christian communities throughout history. “And they devoted themselves…to prayer” (Acts 2).

We invite you to engage in School of Love's rhythm of Common Prayer, which is an intentional structure of support that most Christians lack. It occurs every day of the week, Monday-Friday, in a fifteen minute window: Mondays at 7am, Tuesdays at 12:15pm, Wednesdays at 8:30pm, Thursdays at 12:15pm, and Fridays at 12:15pm.

If you are interested in engaging School of Love’s practice of Common Prayer, please contact Clay Cooke.

We are looking for one or more volunteers to assist with running our youth volunteer program - YASS Kids Club.

We currently meet on Saturdays from 10am - 12noon at the sanctuary. The kids learn about the animal residents and help with cleaning, food, water, enrichment, and special projects.

It is fairly informal now, but we do have a membership card, forms, signup, etc.

The ideal person enjoys children and animals and can help with coordinating plans and supply list needs for each week as well as being present during the Saturday volunteer time.

Often parents stay to help and there are a few older kids who attend regularly that are great helpers.

Almost everything is outdoors, so it is always weather permitting. We are also flexible to fill in or skip any weeks you are not available. Also open to multiple volunteers that work together for a monthly or bi-weekly commitment.
