Community Representative for Restorative Justice Conferences

In some of our criminal cases, there is no directly participating harmed party—such as when someone’s property is damaged, but the person impacted is unavailable or unwilling to participate. In these cases, RJ still happens with trained Community Representatives who help speak to the broader impact on our shared community.

What You'll Do:
-Participate in Community Conferences as a community voice
-Speak to how harms like these affect public trust, safety, and wellbeing
-Engage in dialogue that promotes reflection, accountability, and repair
-Model empathy and active listening

Training & Support:
We provide all the training you need, including our self-paced Community Conferencing Training Manual and personalized preparation for each case. No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to listen, share, and support healing. It’s especially helpful if you’re active in the community or have some awareness of how crime and harm affect those around us.
