Job: Administrative Volunteer

The San Diego Restorative Justice Mediation Program (RJMP) is looking for volunteers to work 10-15 daytime hours each week at our office in Normal Heights.

RJMP provides a critical service to the San Diego community. RJMP brings restorative justice practices to San Diego with a special focus on youthful offenders. Restorative justice is a profoundly different approach to resolving crime and conflict. Unlike the more common practice of retributive justice, which focuses on offender isolation and punishment, a restorative justice approach encourages an active role for the victim and community in order to provide redress to victims, foster offender accountability, and help the community take ownership over its conflicts and healing.

RJMP is in the midst of a re-start after several years of relative inactivity. We are currently looking for volunteers with administrative and marketing skills to help us get the program stable. In the past, this program has seen more than 100 cases per year mediated.

Available 10-15 daytime hours each week for volunteer work in our office in Normal Heights. Comfortable with Microsoft Windows and Office programs. Marketing experience a plus. A three-month minimum commitment is required.
