Volunteering with Abbotsford Restorative Justice offers a meaningful opportunity to support individuals and strengthen community through either our Restorative Mentoring or Restorative Justice programs.

At ARJAA, we have 2 volunteer positions for individuals to be involved in:

• Volunteer in our Restorative Mentoring Programs are matched one-to-one with youth and serve as consistent, positive role models by spending time together, planning activities, and supporting personal growth, confidence, and connection.

• Volunteers in our Restorative Justice Programs support processes that focus on repairing harm, restoring relationships, and rebuilding trust by assisting with restorative conversations and community-based resolutions.

All volunteers receive training, ongoing support, and guidance from ARJAA staff, and make a commitment of approximately six hours per month. Through both programs, volunteers play a vital role in creating opportunities for accountability, healing, and transformation at a grassroots level—one relationship at a time.
