“Restorative justice is a process to

involve, to the extent possible, those who

have a stake in a specific offense and to

collectively identify and address harms,

needs, and obligations, in order to heal

and put things as right as possible.”

It’s relationships, not programs that change children . . . Young people thrive when

adults care about them on a one-to-one level, and when

they have a sense ofbelonging to a caring

community.
