“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.
