November 17-21, 2025 is Restorative Justice Week, an opportunity to celebrate progress and co-shape the future.
Inherent to restorative justice is the knowing that the work of justice and healing is all of ours. But, we take on the responsibility of inviting, supporting, and equipping community to be a part it. In that spirit, we’re thrilled to offer some free training starting this Restorative Justice Week.
Restorative Justice 101 is a 1-hour workshop delivered by CJI practitioners that offers an entry-level orientation to the lenses and frameworks of restorative justice as distinct from other justice worldviews coupled with understanding of relevant principles and practices through the exploration of ones own relationship to justice.
Join CJI staff Kamil Ahmed and Henna Sheikh for this engaging offering.
