It's Official - MRSC has a new home!

 

Congratulations to Conflict Resolution Center (CRC). This organization has been awarded transfer and assumption of operations for MRSC in a time frame yet to be determined.  E-news, website and membership benefits will remain consistent.

 

Members of the MRSC Board of Directors, with guidance, facilitation and recommendations from MAP for Nonprofits, reviewed and discussed all submitted proposals. A scoring and evaluation process, designed by MAP, was used to score and rank all applications. In this process, all proposals were initially read, reviewed, and scored by MAP and then blind proposals were read and scored by the MRSC board. Each blind application was ranked, discussed and comments were recorded in detail by MAP staff. Full Annoucement, HERE.

Webinar from the Center for Justice & Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University:

"The Promise & Challenge of Restorative Justice Practices in Schools"
  
School applications are probably the fastest growing area of restorative justice. What are the potential benefits? What are the barriers and challenges to implanting restorative justice practices? What works and what does not?
  
In this webinar, Nancy Riestenberg and Rita Alfred will offer lessons and stories from their extensive experience in this field. Whether a novice or experienced practitioner, this webinar will be of interest.
  
Howard Zehr will facilitate the webinar.
When: Feb. 27, 2013, 4:30-6 p.m.
Cost: $10
