Week One (11/9):I'm passionate, but what next?Essentials for Next Steps
many who are already "doing rj" feel this way! this session will start us at ground-level or return us to explore ways to strengthen what we are already doing.
Week Two (11/16): How do I set up programs that invite equal voice & leadership?
Creating Intersectional, Diverse RJ Programs
finding or revisiting baseline values that include, hear, and enact.
Week Three (11/23): Building the right relationships:
Where and who to go to
within traditional systems
starting where we are at, in a language that translates, with a listening ear.

Mapping what is important,
bringing others on board.
Building capacity from steady, strong, true foundations.
Please note: RJ Implementation does not happen overnight. It is not a cookie-cutter white supremacist recipe that slides back into "punishment with a hug". This training series will provide you assurance and tools to your commitment locally and look at potent ways to build or strengthen your program/s to last and sustain over time, on the basis of good relationship and values building together. This is not a certification course but we will provide a Certificate of Completion.
