Member Duties : CMRS employs restorative practices in schools and court systems to impact systemic change of the disproportionate minority contact of school discipline and the juvenile justice system. A restorative practice approach provides an accountable process for youth to repair harm by diverting cases from the juvenile justice system to a community based process with the ultimate goal of keeping the young person engaged in their school and community and out of the juvenile justice system. The VISTA will build the capacity of CMRS to do this work through building a volunteer management system; creating partnerships and infrastructure around referral systems from schools to CMRS to help students and families in a housing crisis; developing a communications outreach plan, specifically for National Night Out; creating a youth cohort for mediation or restorative practices; and designing a fundraising event.
