How Can I Participate in BRITE CO?
BRITE CO is an organization that is bolstered by our incredible volunteers who support our restorative interventions in many different ways!
We offer extensive training to all volunteers who help support our restorative justice programs and interventions. Our training begins with a 2 hour training on the fundamentals of restorative practices and continues through a 16 hour facilitator training.

-
Anyone can join us for our Restorative Practices Orientation which is offered 6 times a year (virtually). Here you get an opportunity to learn more about volunteering with BRITE CO and/or how to bring restorative practices to YOUR community!
-
Community Members are essential in restorative justice. Speaking from personal perspective to identify how the broader community is affected by crime, BRITE CO's community members ensure that the reparative agreements in the Responsible Person’s contract are fair to the participants and the community.
-
Committed volunteers become facilitators by learning and practicing how to lead a restorative justice conference. Facilitators empower those affected by and responsible for crime and harm.
-
BRITE CO offers regular training opportunities to deepen your restorative skills and opportunities to connect with our community!
Opportunities include: Restorative Conversations, Reflective Statements & Reframing, Connection Circles, Learning Restorative Justice Through Games, Cultural Responsiveness in Restorative Practices & More!
All trainings are in compliance with the Colorado Restorative Justice Practitioner Guidelines adopted by the Colorado Restorative Justice Coordinating Council and endorsed by the Colorado Coalition for Restorative Justice Practices.
Additionally, our trainings integrate best practices from the Restorative Rainbow Alliance. It outlines and describes best practices and norms for LGBTQ+ affirmation restorative justice and practices.
