Volunteer Office Manager, Restorative Justice and Mediation Center, San Diego, CA, USA. 

 

The San Diego Restorative Justice Mediation Program (RJMP) is looking for a volunteer office manager to work 20-30 daytime hours each week at our office in the mid-city area, managing and recruiting other volunteers to work in our office.

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.

Skills / Requirements
Available 20-30 weekday hours each week to manage volunteer workers in our office in the mid-city area. Comfortable with Microsoft Windows and Office programs. May be subject to background check.
