Education

We offer immersive workshops in restorative justice philosophy and practice, with follow-up coaching for people involved in implementing RJ in their workplaces or community settings. We welcome community members, schools, organizations, and other local institutions.

For Individuals & Organizations

We regularly offer the workshops listed below, open to individuals with or without restorative justice experience (unless otherwise noted). Participants can expect to learn the value of understanding accountability from a relational perspective, find out how restorative justice shifts power dynamics and centers dignity, and start using accountability practices that leave people feeling more whole and more capable.

Workshop dates open to the public are listed on our events page.

Organizations that are seeking to implement restorative justice are welcome to book the Hub for any of these workshops and for follow-up implementation coaching services, all tailored to their work. Contact us to schedule a private workshop for your group.

  • This 3-hour introductory workshop clarifies what makes restorative justice so different and so important to community safety and justice. Join us if you are curious about restorative justice or about the Hub’s orientation to RJ.

  • Explore and practice some of the justice skills needed for meaningful accountability during these 3-hour interactive workshops. Ideal for those curious about or just starting their restorative justice journey and for seasoned practitioners alike. Current options include:

    • Denouncing Harm Workshop: Practice identifying and denouncing harm without causing additional harm.

    • Making Amends Workshop: Learn what meaningful accountability looks like and how to make amends.

  • Join this 4-day workshop to examine accountability in light of power, learning how Circle structures and dynamics support the development of empathy and mutual responsibility.

    Available for group trainings only.
