Our Mission
The Center for Restorative Justice is a hub for education, research, and practice, preparing a diverse community of students, professionals and practitioners to lead with empathy, build and strengthen relationships, and address harm through inclusive, healing-centered approaches.

"At our Center, we recognize that restorative justice is an emerging global movement with many traditions and approaches. It embraces personal and community empowerment, collaboration, and personal accountability to address harm and strengthen relationships."
"Restorative justice invites us to lean into the art of relationship building and to do the hard work of repairing what has been broken through interpersonal and historical harm. In doing so, we have the power to transform pain into healing and cultivate the hope that our world so deeply needs now."
