The Center for Restorative Justice provides evaluation services and a selection of training opportunities. We provide assistance to communities that are exploring how restorative thinking can be applied to their situations. To this end, we offer several different types of training.  Examples are listed below, however we can also adapt training and workshops to fill your communities specific needs.

Upcoming Training:

Current research across the United States and abroad supports the effectiveness of restorative justice processes in schools.
