Restorative Programming for Schools

• Peer Jury |
• Peer Mediation |
• Talking Circles

Our Approach

• Capacity Building: Our goal is to develop a school’s capacity to implement restorative discipline by strengthening knowledge, skills, and systems for effective implementation.
• Youth-Driven: Peer Jury, Peer Mediation and Talking Circles are led by youth in order to foster youth leadership and positive peer relationships which are best practices in youth development.
• Individualized: While restorative practices are grounded in a set of values and utilize a continuum of practices, they are flexible and can be used in a variety of contexts. We ensure that our training and coaching meets the individualized needs of schools.
• Holistic: We integrate our restorative justice work with positive youth development theory and social emotional learning standards. We also encourage schools to integrate restorative practices beyond the formal disciplinary process and into the everyday culture of the school.
