Restorative Community Network Santa Barbara

The Restorative Community Network (RCN) is a coalition of individuals and organizations committed to working together to address the complex social issues contributing to juvenile crime. The purpose of the RCN is to advocate for the use of Restorative Practices in the juvenile justice system, educational system, and youth & family services, promoting a system change away from an isolative and punitive model toward a healing and transformative model of caring for our youth. The long term goal of the RCN is system and policy change toward a sustainable and inclusive model of youth services, through the promotion of Restorative Practices and collaborative partnerships.
