CMRS - Restorative Justice and Mediation Evaluation VISTA

The Minnesota Alliance With Youth VISTA program places members in nonprofits, government, and schools in the Twin Cities to create, connect, and leverage resources to address education inequities such as the opportunity and achievement gaps. We build capacity, coordinate efforts that bridge and build the integration of school and community-wide support for youth, and actively engage youth as agents of change in closing these gaps. Our 20 person cohort meets regularly for professional development, team building, and peer support. This position is placed at Community Mediation and Restorative Services. Community Mediation & Restorative Services, Inc’s mission is to develop the capacity of the community to respectfully resolve conflict and repair harm. We utilize this community empowerment approach as we work on addressing barriers to stable housing and school success. In the last several years, CMRS’s services have expanded and changed rapidly, especially during COVID. Now is an ideal time to make sure that we are using best practices in our services as well as gathering feedback from the people who receive our services and are most impacted by the model and practices we use. A VISTA will bring fresh perspectives and ideas to help us check our blind spots. The VISTA will also bring together a group of young people who we serve. The VISTA will facilitate this group in order to learn about restorative justice, mediation, and CMRS. The group will have the opportunity to provide direct feedback and suggestions to a variety of stakeholders at CMRS and in the wider community.
