We are proud to present the Restorative Justice Train the Trainer program that will begin in January 2019 at Peace Learning Center.  This includes FIVE full days (totaling 32 hours plus ongoing support) of restorative practices training where schools/youth-serving organizations can send a restorative team of 3-6 people through this training and then have fully trained staff to train the rest of their school/youth-serving organization We have 6 to 10 spots (openings per school/organization) and they will go fast!

What you need to know:

• Each school/youth-serving organization needs to create a team of 3-6 people who will become the Restorative Team.  This team will attend all 5 trainings (mandatory) and will be fully trained to lead the rest of the school/organization in Restorative Practices workshops.
