Facilitators are the Heart of KRJ
Facilitators are highly trained volunteers who deliver RJ services for cases referred to the program by the RCMP. Becoming a Facilitator is a rewarding experience and a wonderful way to enhance professional skills in the human service sector. Our volunteers include teachers, social workers, students, health care workers, youth workers and retired professionals.
Each volunteer is required to provide an application of interest and complete 20 hours of training with KRJ. Volunteers are mentored by a certified Facilitator and supported to learn how to operate the conference process through co-facilitation sessions.
