Title: Cultural Justice Coordinator


Career Overview

I was hired to develop and oversee a new Indigenous restorative justice program for families experiencing violence that will utilize cultural Elders to facilitate conflict resolution circles. I work in a project management capacity designing the program and doing research within the community to ensure the program will be effective in the local context. Once the program begins, I will be responsible for meeting with clients to plan conflict resolution circles, assist in facilitating circles, and providing any further supports that are needed for families such as cultural healing ceremonies, referrals, and aftercare.
