Restorative Justice Facilitator

 Community Options for Justice services all of Oxford County and is committed to providing alternative interventions and prevention strategies in the community for persons in conflict with the law.

We are recruiting volunteers to take on the role of facilitators in the Adult Mediation and/or  Youth Justice Committee programs within Oxford County.

Restorative Justice programs act as an alternative to formal court proceedings and provide opportunities for youth and adults to demonstrate accountability to the persons harmed by their actions and responsibility to their community.

Restorative Justice programs endeavour to bring together people impacted by a crime in a safe manner to share their experiences, understand the harm that has been caused, and discuss meaningful ways to repair that harm and help people move forward.

Volunteer responsibilities include leading pre-conference meetings with individual participants, facilitating the Restorative Justice process (along with another volunteer) for youth and/or adult clients, and attending ongoing training sessions.

Volunteers should have flexibility in their schedule (daytime availability is an asset) and be willing to provide a Police Information Check/Vulnerable Sector Check. Previous group facilitation and/or mediation experience is an asset.
