VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer mediators are key to the success of restorative justice in the community, by the community. RJP, Inc. offers mediator trainings. RJP, Inc. invites you to become a volunteer mediator. Conflict affects everyone. Do you wish you could do more to make things right? BECOME A VOLUNTEER MEDIATOR!
Volunteer mediators get the opportunity to work directly with first time juvenile offenders, victims and their families, in the hopes of bringing them together in mediation to make things as right as possible. Victims can be heard, gain back strength and achieve closure. Offenders are accountable, gain empathy and can participate in creating reparation for themselves, the victim and community.
FACT: Because of RJP, Inc., these young people do not have to go through the judicial system. Over 90% of our offenders do not re-offend and are able to move forward in their young lives. Most of our cases are vandalism, theft (store theft as well), and battery. Our mediators consist of a wide group of individuals, from young college students to experienced retired community members. Mediators must be over the age of 18 and attend all three classes.
Participating as a mediator, is a great way to enhance a resume. It is also valuable for those interested in the criminal justice system. Anyone interested in learning more on how to become a volunteer mediator for RJP, Inc. Please contact Veronica Miramontes at rjp.vorp@gmail.com

Victim Impact Speakers, part of The Victim Impact Program (VIP), is an opportunity for crime victims to tell their story and be heard by offenders in a safe environment. When faced with real victims, offenders empathize and learn to take responsibility for their actions. VIP and similar programs have proven to reduce recidivism and criminality.
Every victim matters. No offense is too small, even those never reported. Support and guidance provided.
El programa de Impacto a víctimas (VIP) es una oportunidad para que las voces de las víctimas sean escuchadas por ofensores juveniles en un entorno seguro. Cuando los ofensores ven a las víctimas y escuchan sus historias, simpatizan y toman responsabilidad por sus acciones. Programas similares han comprobado que se reduce la reincidencia y la criminalidad. ¡Cada víctima importa! Cualquier ofensa, aunque sea pequeña es importante, incluyendo las no denunciadas. Apoyo y entrenamiento serán proveídos a los oradores voluntarios de VIP.
