Happy New Year!

You are invited to a virtual

Community Ally Coalition Conversation on

Restorative & Transformative Justice

in After School Programs

Friday, Jan. 21 at 2:00pm-3:30pm

Rhode Island for Community & Justice (RICJ) warmly invites you to join our next CAC/Community Ally Coalition facilitated conversation by zoom,

"Restorative & Transformative Justice in RI Afterschool Programs"


Last year, the School-to-Prison-Pipeline Group of the RI Afterschool Network (RIAN) surveyed members on best practices and interest in restorative justice. While most were already working to build restorative practices into programs, 100% of respondents wanted to learn more! Our Jan. 21 CAC Conversation follows up on that RIAN survey. 


To foster cross-pollination of ideas, we are inviting Afterschool Network members to join in conversation with CAC's social services, community diversion and juvenile justice system providers, to share ideas and views on:

  • restorative best practices in afterschool programs that benefit youth;
  • exemplary restorative programs (whether your own or others' programs);
  • resources needed to build high-level restorative practices in afterschool settings;
  • progressing from restorative to transformative models.
  • Restorative = repairing harm
  • Transformative = addressing root causes


FRIDAY, JANUARY 21 AT 2:00 PM EST

RSVP here!


Looking to future CAC Conversations:

  1. February: We updated the RI Diversion System Map from your suggestions at the last CAC Conversation. Let's discuss action plans for increasing diversion!
  2. March: An exciting new school-based restorative model being built by a partnership with Central High School.


We hope to "see" you! If you can't make it but would like to provide feedback, please email Toby at ricj@ricj.org


Happy New Year,
