Community Circle

REY employs youth apprenticed in restorative justice to train others in building community, repairing harm, and transforming institutions.Restorative Empowerment for Youth, or REY, was borne from a belief that restorative justice can be practiced by anyone who is apprenticed by others in the community who are familiar with the philosophy – one need not pay for hundreds of hours of training or have a professional degree in order to facilitate circles. However, we believe that the implementation of restorative practices does necessitate some prerequisites: practitioners must display vulnerability, humility, transparency, open mindedness, and self knowledge in order to do work that is truly restorative, not just in name.We also believe that restorative practices are important not just to repair and build relationships, but to repair what is wrong in the world, and to tip the scales of justice so that our systems serve and value all young people. We hire college students to convince educators and community members about the transformative nature of circles.​As a result, our trainings acknowledge the material conditions many students face, particularly in urban areas. We also see restorative justice as a means to disrupt the school to prison pipeline, which disportionately impacts students of color. We explore implicit biases of educators, youth development, and ways to engage students through restorative pedagogy and disciplinary practices, so that they may become agents of change who can transform the education system and beyond.
