Restorative Justice for Youth

Restorative Justice for Youth is a process that focuses on repairing harm caused by a young person's misconduct through dialogue and accountability. Instead of traditional punishment, it brings together the youth, victims, and community members to understand the impact of the wrongdoing, take responsibility, and collaboratively work toward healing. This approach aims to foster empathy, promote responsible behavior, and reintegrate the youth positively into society, emphasizing repair and growth over simply penalizing.
