Youth Restorative Justice
About
Our YRJ Team is a group of high school students, representing 4 out of the 5 boroughs in New York City. We all come together two times a month to discuss restorative practices and share best practices to implement them in schools. In these meetings we develop leadership skills, create workshops, build community, and support each other to create better environments in schools across the city. Our goal is to reform schools to center their disciplinary actions around restorative practices.
