Do you or your child have an interest in Restorative Justice or care about contributing to making Winooski a thriving community?
The Winooski School District is partnering with Spectrum Youth & Family Services, UP for Learning, and the City of Winooski to establish a culture of Restorative Justice in the Winooski community.
Spectrum and UP for Learning would like to start by creating a YPAR (Youth-led Participatory Action Research) team to assess what’s already in place and figure out how to create a sustainable program. The goal of the project is to engage all stakeholders in defining what it means to be a thriving school/community.
This youth-adult team would use this information to design, implement, and communicate these opportunities to their community.
WHO SHOULD BE PART OF THE TEAM?
- WSD students and parents
- WSD teachers and staff
- Community members
You don’t need to be an expert in Restorative Justice; you just need to have a willingness to learn and the enthusiasm to carry out this project.
Team members twenty-four years of age or younger will are eligible to receive a stipend of up to $500 upon completion of the project.
