UC Berkeley’s RJ Student Leaders program trains students to provide peer-to-peer training and services in restorative practices (community building and other circles) and restorative justice (responding to harm). As they invite their fellow students to engage in restorative practice and restorative justice, RJ Student Leaders promote a different kind of leadership that emphasizes engaged listening, empathy, conflict resolution, and recognition of multiple truths.
Every year, RJ Student leaders train hundreds of students and staff and guide dozens of students through restorative processes to address harm, resolve conflicts, and restore relationships.
