• 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.

    Our programs are founded on a restorative justice approach where:
    • 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
    • Staff work with youth to ‘reweave the fabric’ of relationships (community, family, peers) in ways that prevent further harm, inspire connection, and increase community safety and livability CRYJ’s programs foster dialogue between offenders and victims, create opportunities for true accountability, and reduce the likelihood that a youth will reoffend.

    • Thanks to all of you who attended our CRYJ Movie Premier Night on November 15th. It was great see all our community partners and supporter and the movie was a big hit! Look for clips online soon.
