Community supports and youth programming
Rapid-response supports after critical incidents, restorative justice circles, and strengths-based workshops that equip youth with practical skills and confidence.
Restorative Justice program
Our Restorative Justice Program connects youth through meaningful engagement to create repair, promote healing, and inspire leadership across communities.
We co-design circles and community-led processes that help people find common ground, seek peaceful resolutions, and strengthen neighbourhood safety.
What we facilitate
- Restorative circles and mediation after conflicts
- Peacebuilding sessions that prioritize healing
- Leadership pathways for youth and young adults
- Community-informed plans to prevent further harm
