Promotional poster for Restorative Works Magazine on 'Community Matters,' featuring students engaged in a collaborative activity, one using a laptop. The poster highlights the article title, "Uplifting Student Voice and Leadership With an “Inside Out” Approach", noting its feature in Restorative Works Magazine 2023 by IIRP Graduate School.
Photo of Erica Vogel, CEO of Community Matters, with a quote that reads, "We want to hear their voices of course, but it doesn’t matter to just hear them, we must also give them the keys to use their voices." Background includes the logo of Community Matters and additional text about their educational and anti-bullying initiatives: "Community Matters, located in Santa Rosa, California, is a non-profit organization committed to ensuring a brighter future for students by fostering safe and supportive school environments worldwide...The heart of Community Matters’ work is empowering students to become active contributors to their own education, rather than passively absorbing academic knowledge. Students bring up issues proactively, such as concerns about weapons and bullying.”
✨ As we highlight our special #RestorativeWorksPodcast series with Community Matters -Safe School Ambassadors, revisit this article from our 2023 issue of Restorative Works Magazine that tells us more about them and their mission!
