Classes

The Hartford Community Restorative Justice Center currently offers:

  1. Restorative Panel Training
  2. CoSA Training

Reparative Panel Training

  • When: Monthly
  • Reparative Panels create opportunities for offenders to take responsibility for their actions, and for victims to share their experiences if they wish. A panel of trained community volunteers, the offender, and the victims (if they want to participate) decide together how the offender will make amends and repair the harm.
  • This training has been developed by a state-wide team of Panel coordinators to prepare volunteers to participate in the Reparative Panels. If you are interested in volunteering with the Reparative panels, this training is a prerequisite.
  • Please contact the center to learn about our Restorative Panel Training: 802-291-7173 or email Madelin Walker

CoSA Training

  • When: Monthly
  • CoSA volunteers works with previous offenders coming out of incarceration to support their re-entry into the community. They gather once a week to support the offender, uplift them, and hold them accountable as they rebuild their life.
  • This training is a prerequisite for volunteering with the COSA program. Training events take place multiple times a month all across Vermont.
