The Center for Restorative Youth Justice is a nonprofit who works in partnership with the community to create meaningful accountability processes and restorative community connections as an alternative to the traditional juvenile justice system.
At CRYJ:
Justice resources are focused on those who have been harmed (vs. what law was broken)
Conversations with victims and community members allow youth to focus on what steps are needed to repair that harm (vs. inflicting punishment) allowing victims and youth to move forward
We believe that youth are valuable assets who represent the future of our community
