VOLUNTEER

Barb Bonner

Barbara Bonner has over fifteen years of mediation experience with various organizations, such as Colorado Circle for Change, Resolution Works, Jefferson County Mediation Services Program, and The Conflict Center / Denver District Attorney Restorative Justice program.

Her hope is to see Restorative Justice divert our youth from being part of the school to prison pipeline. By focusing on repairing the harm instead of punitive consequences, we allow for the healing to start for everyone impacted to move forward.

In Jefferson County Small Claims Night Court she facilitated agreements between parties as an alternative to a court judgment. With Resolution Works and Colorado Circle for Change programs for youth with tickets, she facilitates Restorative Justice as an alternative for a conviction. In Work Place Conflict mediation, she leads staff in building trust among themselves to support an inclusive working environment.
