MRJC’s Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) Volunteer Training
Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) is a community-based MRJC program that provides positive social supports and accountability to high-risk sexual offenders, with the goal of having “No More Victims.”
Help MRJC by volunteering to work with a CoSA Core Member. Join a Circle of Support and Accountability by providing your friendship and support to someone who has served a prison sentence for a sexual offence or multiple sexual offences. MRJC will train you.
Training begins with a half-day workshop to introduce the basics of the CoSA program. This includes the origins and history of the CoSA program, its structure and values, its circle process, the basics of support and accountability, safety, principles of self-care and boundaries. Once volunteers complete the introductory training, they may be placed in a Circle.
Volunteers are also expected to complete the remainder of MRJC’s CoSA training curriculum within their first year of volunteering. Topics include sexual offence in Canadian law, understanding the correctional system, overcoming institutionalization, issues in reintegration, legal controls and community monitoring, sexual deviance, victim and survivor perspectives, risk management and reintegration planning. Training on topics such as addictions, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), and issues in aboriginal cultural will be provided to volunteers as required.
In addition to training specific to CoSA, all MRJC volunteers are eligible to attend other MRJC volunteer training which includes topics such as understanding conflict, communication training, facilitation, restorative process and more.
If you have any questions about the CoSA program, the CoSA volunteer position or application process, please contact the CoSA Coordinator at 780.423.0896 ext. 203 or by e-mail at cosa@mrjc.ca.
Restorative Practice for Organizations/Schools/Groups
Restorative Practice for Organizations/Schools/Groups
MRJC works directly with organizations, schools and groups to integrate restorative practices into classrooms, and into the overall culture of a school. Restorative Justice is a different way of perceiving and approaching a crime and/or incident such as extreme bullying, theft, vandalism, etc., and punishment for this crime and/or incident that took place or that could take place at your school, one that has affected, or could affect members of your school’s staff team or student population.
