Do you or your child have an interest in Restorative Justice or care about contributing to making Winooski a thriving community? I am the Restorative Justice Coordinator at Spectrum Youth & Family Services. Spectrum, UP for Learning, Winooski School District, and the City of Winooski are in partnership to establish a culture of Restorative Justice in the school and 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. The team should have WSD students and parents, WSD teachers and staff, and 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. Send me an email at kloving@spectrumvt.org with your interest and any questions you may have. There will be information session on Tuesday, Aug. 4th, at 4pm via
