Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County Community Justice Services is seeking volunteers for a restorative justice program designed to help offenders repair harm done to the community.

Volunteers will work with clients who have committed misdemeanor crimes and have been ordered by the court to do community service with government agencies and nonprofit organizations.

Volunteers may serve as Case Managers or Case Assistants in Boulder or Longmont. Both positions require a six-month commitment and 6-8 hours per week during regular business hours.

Case Managers assist in matching clients with suitable community service opportunities and monitor clients to ensure they are fulfilling their court-appointed responsibilities. Case Assistants help with administrative tasks such as tracking client hours and appointments.

Volunteers may also participate in the “Caring Crafts” program, which collects handmade items like furniture, quilts and art made by clients and donates them to nonprofits.

The program is open to volunteers and students looking to gain professional experience in case management, restorative justice and community service. Participants must be 21 years of age or older with good communication skills and an ability to work effectively with diverse populations.

The deadline to register is June 3. For details and registration information, please contact Janice Allan of the Community Justice Services volunteer program at 303-441-3718 or jallan@bouldercounty.org.
