What is Restorative Justice? What are Circles?
Restorative justice is rooted in the belief that we are all interconnected and that healing happens when community works together to make things right. Circles are one way communities practice this—bringing people together to listen, repair relationships, and restore dignity.
We train and certify youth and adults in cohort based apprenticeships so they can get ongoing coaching as they learn to facilitate community building and healing Circles. Our goal is to have a citywide network of peacekeepers.
Our Vision
Houston will become a restorative city where practices rooted in connection, healing, and liberation are embedded in schools, neighborhoods, and systems, so all Houstonians-especially those most impacted by harm and inequity-can thrive.

Breaking The Cycle
Our motto, "Let's Start a Movement," originates from Xavier Chavez, who shared his story of self in a restorative justice class taught by our Executive Director, Anita Wadhwa. Hear his words.
