Founded in 2005, our responses to crime and wrongdoing seek renewal and safety for the community, support and healing for those harmed, and accountability and reintegration of the people who have caused harm. Our Mission is: to promote a justice that is community-based, repairs harm, and creates safety and wellbeing for all.
