Description
Offers restorative justice programs that require that the person who committed the offense meet with a group of trained citizen volunteers to be accountable to their community. Affected parties and others impacted by the incident are welcomed into the process. Offenders are expected to engage in dialogue with the Panels or conference attendees and the affected parties in order to deepen their understanding of the harm they caused to the individuals and their community. They also must collaboratively develop and complete activities to make amends, reduce the likelihood to re-offend, and connect positively with their community.
