Join Molly Rowan Leach, who is an experienced facilitator (including current harm processes facilitation), a former Executive Director and Co-Director of a Colorado-based Community Restorative Justice program serving courts, schools, and the wider community. In this program the primary "model" used (as with a good portion of programs like it in Colorado) is Community Group Conferencing.

We understand from our own HANDS-ON work in restorative justice that every person comes with unique needs and there is also an important, and specific, structure we are facilitating. Join us for this fun "intro level" class and/or refresher to gain insights and skills even at the freshman level of program implementation that will support you and your team in understanding and deepening knowledge and actionable tools in these core areas:
At the conclusion of this series you will feel confident as to why RCGC can and often is one of the most thorough ways to offer a restorative pathway and process. You will have a clear understanding (and a packet of) paperwork and sample surveys that are offered to not only measure success but also used previous to, and during, as well as after the process itself.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a facilitation training. It is a structural overview at very specific levels that will lend extraordinary insight into policies, practices, paperwork, people, and process. In addition, we are not offering this training as an affiliation with the Colorado state or local programs, but as Independent Grassroots Program Directors/Facilitators.
