The Why
When communities build a strong foundation of Restorative Practices, young people and adults alike are better equipped to form meaningful relationships, foster belonging, and later respond to harm in ways that heal.
Participants in RESTORE New York will:
• Take a deep dive into core values, human needs, and authentic communication
• Learn the essential components of Restorative Practices
• Begin planning how to integrate and sustain RP across their own systems
Through powerful storytelling and practical strategy-building, you'll gain not just insight, but the skills, tools, and confidence to help your community show up differently — with empathy, accountability, and collective strength. This isn't just personal growth. It's system-level transformation.
