Training Opportunity for College of Arts and Sciences Students, Faculty and Staff

The Community Justice and Mediation Center (CJAM) offers a 40-hour training program for community members and IU students interested in learning about conflict resolution, mediation, and restorative justice.  The training covers interpersonal skills in communication and listening, problem solving, negotiation, restorative justice philosophy and methods, the sources of conflict, and the processes leading to constructive conflict resolution.  These skills enable participants to explore peaceful and constructive approaches to conflict in the workplace, home, and in our community.  The training provides the background and skills necessary to work as a community mediator and restorative justice practitioner and qualifies participants to volunteer in CJAM’s programs.

The fall training will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. over five weekend days, September 15-16, 22-23, and 29 at the I.U. Maurer School of Law.  Tuition is $300, $275 if received by August 27.  Scholarships are available.  For more information, e-mail admin@cjamcenter.org or, phone the office at (812) 336-8677.
