Community Stakeholder

Flexible Schedule | River Falls, WI 54022

Community mentors (or stakeholders) participate in Restorative Justice group-dialogue sessions to address public safety issues. SCVRS is looking for parents, teachers, emergency service workers, and anyone concerned with public safety issues. We work with a prevention, intervention and reintegration model to address crime and conflict. Central topics include: * Underage drinking * Impaired and distracted driving * Alcohol and controlled substance use and abuse * Disorderly and disruptive behavior * Theft, vandalism and other property crimes Our volunteers engage in a dialogue process as community representatives. Sessions are nonjudgmental, offering all participants equal opportunity to share their experiences and engage in the process. Volunteer stakeholders are asked to role model session behavior and share the impact of crime and conflict on the community, with a focus on committing to better, safer decision-making. Training is provided by staff and through mentorship with other volunteers. Regular meetings are offered for further discussion about relevant topics and support for developing speakers.

Speaker

Flexible Schedule | River Falls, WI 54022

Sharing personal experiences can provide an intervention and prevent future harm for teens and young adults. In our Restorative Justice sessions, we address public-safety issues including underage drinking, safe driving, and controlled substance and alcohol use and abuse. Our speakers share their stories to help make an impact on the participants. Participants work within a group-dialogue session to discuss relevant topics and safety strategies. Stories frequently address a particular incident, such as a car crash, overdose or recovery from addiction. If you have a story that you feel could make an impact, please contact us to learn more. Training, peer support and mentorship are provided. Visit our webpage for more details on our group-dialogue sessions and panels.
