CIRCLES FOR COMMUNITIES, SCHOOLS & ORGANIZATIONS: In 2024, TRC held restorative justice circles for communities, organizations, and educational institutions. TRC facilitated circles for over 1200 participants, including law enforcement, parolees, educators, students, community activists, judiciary members, prosecutors, and defense attorneys. Drawing upon a deep reservoir of real-world experience and models from around the world. TRC develops and codifies unique, teachable, and flexible structures of restorative justice circles. Our work benefits restorative justice for incarceration, community dysfunction, and resilience, reimagining school conflict, and workplace forums for issues including race relations and sexual harassment. We believe restorative justice offers a way forward for workplaces, schools, communities, and this nation to have transformative conversations with humility and humanity. Circles realign our power and voice.
