At RJ4ALL, we accept ongoing applications for internships. Thus, there are always interesting and challenging opportunities to join us and to be part of our restorative justice social movement.

RJ4All holds the Quality Label for the European Commission's
European Solidarity Corps
volunteering programme (receiving & sending volunteers)
Our volunteering and internship scheme aims to benefit young people from across Europe.
Moreover, we work with local and European organizations in order to support them to understand the needs of our target groups and users, and how to engage them with a view to involving them in the development of their services.
Traditionally, our participants have come from mixed backgrounds although RJ4All has always been focused on those with fewer opportunities (see more detailed answer below). The ages we cover usually range from 16-30, but where additional needs are identified the age limit extends to 35 years' old.
35% of our participants have attended university with 10% of them being or have been Masters students. The remaining have not been (or want to be) in university or further education. Most of our participants are faced with various barriers such as being a carer, economically or socially disadvantaged. We would also like to prioritise volunteers who have not been given similar experiences before due to their disadvantage and personal circumstances.
RJ4All aims to empower communities through educational projects and help disseminate power through the implementation of restorative justice values and practices including inter-cultural dialogue, internships, training, volunteering, workshops, and the holding of mediation, family group conferencing and circles.
RJ4All has long expertise in designing and delivering projects of international significance as well as providing high quality volunteering placements.
One of our key aims is to increase cultural awareness especially amongst children and young people, breaking in this way the barriers that lead to division and community tensions. RJ4All holds community-led projects focusing on integration throughout London and internationally.
We aim to provide high quality volunteering opportunities to the most vulnerable and marginalised youth groups in society, including carers, BAME young people, migrants, and young people at risk of offending. However, volunteering and interships at RJ4All are open to anyone who has passion to make a contribution to society and justice in particular.
We have expertise in involving our volunteering in high quality community-based, alternative educational and volunteering activities enhancing their skills, civic engagement and employability while diverting them from harm.
That is why RJ4All applies the equality and human rights standards of the European Solidarity Cords Charter and all its work is supported by its FRED founding values of Fairness - Respect - Equality - Dignity.
