DONATE
Your donation can help eliminate wait lists, expand our vital programs, ensure people have safe spaces to address conflict, and give people in despair an opportunity to reclaim their lives.
Engaging with conflict is essential for a happy, healthy community. It helps people become better listeners and communicators with more empathy - and to see the humanity in each other. The more people learn these skills, the safer our community will be.
Donate today to support what we do tomorrow.

VOLUNTEER
Our volunteers are highly skilled, dependable, spirited, and generous . Volunteers are the cornerstone of our organization and their dedication, energy and commitment are vital to the work we do.
As a collective, it is important that our volunteers reflect the diversity of our community (ie. with respect to ethnic origin, income level, education level, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc.) and also demonstrate understanding of local cultures and social justice issues.
Thank you to all our volunteers who help us celebrate and promote restorative justice in our community.
