Volunteer Opportunities

The center trains volunteers in restorative justice and conflict resolution practices. It facilitates community action to deal with conflict and crime in a restorative and inclusive fashion. When the community is actively involved in the justice process, its members no longer feel powerless against crime and they take ownership for the quality of life in the community.

The center fosters a committed and interconnected community and seeks to affirm that we are all responsible for creating a safe, strong and harmonious community.

Volunteers at the Newport Community Justice Center will:
• Make Greater Newport safer and stronger
• Reduce crime and recidivism
• Save taxpayers money
• Become better informed and more productive citizens
• Learn new skills
• Have opportunities to resolve conflicts
• Foster mutual respect in their community
