Youth Leadership Program: Restorative Justice
Restorative justice focuses on mending broken relationships, as well as maintaining positive healthy relationships. It is a fundamental shift in the way we view and do justice. What happens when we think about harm in ways that don’t involve retaliation or vengeance but instead healing and transformation. Restorative Justice healing circles will be facilitated by RJOY (Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth).
