"AUTHENTIC RESTORATIVE ACTION HAPPENS AT THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL."
"NEIGHBORHOODS BECOME VILLAGES WHEN ALL OF THE ADULTS STEP UP TO SHOW CARE AND CONCERN FOR ALL OF THE CHILDREN."
(Robert M. Franklin, Crisis In The Village )
REFLECT
Within each of us, there is a capacity to learn, relearn, grow, and change. Individuals and groups have vast, often untapped and frequently unappreciated reservoirs of physical, emotional, cognitive, interpersonal, social, and spiritual energies, resources, and competencies.
We need you in the Village!
ENGAGE
Every person has an inherent power that may be characterized as life force, transformational capacity, life energy, spirituality, regenerative potential, and healing power that can guide social transformation.
PARTNER WITH US
