Training & Technical Assistance

A four day experiential training prepares participants to facilitate peacemaking circles in the community, schools and juvenile justice settings. Participants learn the fundamental elements of circles including ritual, story-telling, creating safe space, establishing shared values, building relationships and trust, and consensus decision-making. While shorter training may prepare participants to facilitate check-ins and celebration circles; we believe the depth of experience gained over the four days is necessary to prepare participants to keep circles involving serious conflict and deep emotional issues

Four Day Peacemaking Circle Keeper Training

This training model is traditionally a 360 degree approach to educate school or youth serving communities on the value of Restorative Justice as a way to build inter-group trust and community, with the intent of being able to better-serve and educate our youth with newly strengthened relationships.

RJ trainings are offered in three tiers to participants.

  • Tier 1: Relationships and Community Building

  • Tier 2: RJ Intervention—Responding to Harm or Wrong Doing

  • intervention and Conflict Mediation.

  • Tier 3: Reentry, Welcome & Celebration Circles
