Restorative Justice Project Maine is looking for individuals interested in holding community building and justice processes within Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Knox, Waldo, and Hancock counties. These processes are aimed at increasing community safety and belonging within our rural communities, according to Restorative Justice Project Maine.
Each training is pay what you can.
This volunteer training series begins with a three day foundational training in restorative practices after which individuals are able to participate in restorative justice processes as a mentor and volunteer in other capacities as a change agent.
Later, there are more specific skill-building opportunities available to those interested in holding space for community building, healing or responding to conflict and harm.
Sessions will take place in Waldoboro or online. Two training sequences are available: Sept. 25, 26 and Oct. 23; or Oct. 15, 16, 30. Visit rjpmidcoast.org for more information.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
