UMSON's Restorative Justice program is launching a Student Leadership Program this summer.
We are inviting all students to participate in a virtual focus group Tuesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. In this session, you will learn more about the program and discuss how it would be useful and impactful for students. Bring your questions and your creative ideas to the discussion.
About the RJ Student Leadership Program:
The RJ Student Leadership Program was developed to empower students to take an active role in fostering a positive and inclusive school culture through the application of restorative justice principles. This program provides students with the training and resources needed to become ambassadors for restorative practices within their academic community and the healthcare environments where they will practice.
Participants learn to facilitate restorative circles and mediate conflicts to create a safe and supportive environment for their peers. The RJ student leadership program emphasizes shared responsibility and accountability among students, addresses interpersonal conflicts, and promotes constructive communication. By engaging students as leaders in the restorative justice process, the program instills a sense of agency and community-building among the student body.
