Restorative Justice Training Opportunities

 RESTORATIVE JUSTICE: VAYA VOLUNTEER TRAINING

Fri.-Sat., October 1-2 and Fri.-Sat., October 8-9 , 2010

8:30 am -- 4:30 pm each day

Location: Medford, OR   

The purpose of the Victim Assistance, Youth Accountability Program (VAYA) is two-fold: (1) to encourage youth offenders to become aware of and address the harms caused by their actions against themselves, their community, and their victims; and (2) support victims of youthful criminal behavior.  Our hope is that VAYA, guided by restorative justice values, will work with the youth in addressing these harms through a six day curriculum, structured support, and, when appropriate, a dialogue between themselves and their victims.

 

Participation in this training is required for all prospective VAYA volunteers.  Participants will affirm and learn:

• Basic restorative justice principles
• Skills for working with adolescents
• Juvenile Justice Department procedures
• Jackson County Youth Services orientation
• Restorative discipline
• How to conduct victim and offender case development
• Needs of victims and offenders
• Basic knowledge of trauma and its healing
• Co-facilitation of victim offender encounters
