Advoz will offer Introduction to Conflict and Restorative Justice Conferencing Training.

Participants must first attend the introductory "Conflict, Communication and Culture" training on Friday, April 25. The program will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the S. Dale High Leadership Center, 1861 William Penn Way, Lancaster. This training is required to receive a certificate for "Introduction to Conflict and Restorative Justice Conferencing Training," and participants will need to register for both trainings separately.

Introduction to Conflict and Restorative Justice Conferencing Training will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. via Zoom on Tuesdays, April 29, May 6, and May 13, as well as in person from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 17. This course includes two to three hours of self-directed learning online in between live sessions.

The course aims to help participants gain restorative conflict resolution skills and learn to apply them to situations involving youths and adults who are part of the local justice system. Attendees will learn to facilitate healing conversations that seek to address harm, enhance accountability, and develop resilience among young people involved in Advoz's Restorative Justice Conferencing program.
