Restorative justice begins with community.
We create space for people to repair harm, rebuild trust, and find a path forward together.
At HCRJC, we offer meaningful alternatives to the traditional justice system. Our programs prioritize accountability, support healing for victims, and help people returning from incarceration reconnect with community. From restorative panels to reentry circles, we walk with people every step of the way.
Get Involved as a Volunteer
Our work is made possible by community members who step in to walk alongside participants. Volunteers play an essential role in restorative panels and reentry circles, offering compassion, perspective, and accountability. Others help our clients explore the community, practice new skills, and build confidence as they take important next steps in their lives.
Whether you can commit weekly or lend a hand on occasion, your presence makes a real difference. By sharing your time and skills, you help create safety, healing, and opportunity for those working toward a fresh start.
$10/month changes
one story at a time
Restorative justice gives people a second chance to make things right. Instead of cycles of punishment, neighbors find accountability, repair, and hope. A gift of $10 each month helps open that door. Any amount, monthly or one-time, strengthens this work for our community.
Every path to healing looks different. We walk it together.
Our team brings deep local experience and a belief in second chances. Whether you’re navigating conflict, reentering after incarceration, or looking to give back as a volunteer, we’re here to help build stronger, more connected communities.
Invest in Accountability and Healing

Start Your Friday With
Community Coffee
Join us every Friday from 10–11am at the Justice Center for Community Coffee. These open house hours are casual, welcoming, and a great way to see restorative justice in action. Stop by for coffee, snacks, and conversation with neighbors who care about healing and connection. A big thank you to King Arthur Baking Company for sponsoring September’s weekly coffee hours.
One of the things that I really like about restorative justice is that it really helps me feel alive. Open to change. It puts me in uncomfortable situations and in that discomfort I grow.”
