Restorative justice based programs help youth to meaningfully reflect on the ripple effect of their criminal activity, meet and share a facilitated discussion with those they've harmed, and take steps to make things right. In Multnomah County, restorative justice programs such as the Hands of Wonder gardening project and the Restorative Dialogue program have helped bring the needs and voices of those who have harmed, those impacted, and the community into processes that repair harms and rebuild relationships.

See restorative justice programs in action in our gallery.

Restorative Justice

Restorative Justice emphasizes repairing the harm caused by criminal behavior. By working with everyone involved, this can lead to transformation of people, relationships and communities.
