"Steps Toward Healing"

 

 

Welcome to Partners in Restorative Initiatives!

Partners in Restorative Initiatives is a nonprofit community-based organization that provides advocacy, education, training and facilitation in Restorative Practices. Our goal is to build a more peaceful community. 

   • Restorative Practices build respect and community, resolve

     conflicts, and repair harm caused by wrongdoing.

   • Restorative practices promote a victim focused, collaborative  

     resolution of wrongdoing and address the need to heal       

     relationships.

 

Our founder, Will Bontrager, had a dream that restorative practices would be more widely known and practiced throughout the community. Will planted the seed and it has grown by leaps and bounds!

“You will never know how important this circle has been for me.  It feels like a big load has been lifted off my shoulders.”

 - Local parent of juvenile offender

“I believe that a program such as this goes a long way towards teaching the offender about the ramifications of their actions...it personalizes things the way prison and court will never do.
