Overview

Mission

The Restorative Center advances and advocates for restorative justice to address the profound issues of social disconnect. We faciliate community and workplace circles, and provide restorative justice tranings for individuals, groups and attorneys.

What it reported doing in 2024

TRAINING & WORKSHOPS IN RESTORATIVE JUSTICE - FOR FEE OR AT NO COST In 2024, TRC trained more than 300 people in restorative justice, including youth leaders, educators, government officials, and community members. TRC directs academic work and training to advance deeper analysis of the impact of restorative justice and the manners in which the potential of restorative justice can be manifest, integrating restorative justice models from across the globe and spiritual traditions of community building, holding space, and transformation. We are committed to offering training to all individuals and providing financial support to those who need it. TRC leads training for individuals, groups, workplaces, and attorneys with a robust training curriculum. We utilize theory-based lectures, the interactive circle experience, skill development, mock circles, as well as small and large group discussions, focusing on our circle keeper code of conduct.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
