Happy to announce that we're holding a Youth Restorative Justice Facilitator training February 13-14 from 10am-4pm.

This training will prepare youth, ages 14-25, for basics of Circle facilitation and Restorative Justice along with skill-building in communication and conflict resolution. Training is a mix of traditional lecture style, activities & roleplay. We try to make it as active, collaborative & fun as possible. There will be no quizzes or tests! (Delicious) lunch will be provided, and best of all, it is FREE. More information can be found at qathetcj.org/yra-facilitator, along with the registration link.

Some benefits of our upcoming training and volunteering with YRA are:
✨Free training - learn communication & conflict resolution skills
✨Certificate of Training
✨Great work experience - skills that are applicable across sectors
✨Volunteer hours
✨Leadership opportunities
✨Free food at meetings and events
✨Social connections with peers
✨Contributing to a more just & respectful community!
Note: Youth do not have to volunteer for YRA in order to take the training, but priority will be given to those who intend to continue on as facilitators should spaces fill up.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or presentation requests!
