The Sanford Strong Coalition Restorative Justice Task Group will work together to develop and support a collaborative approach to holding juveniles accountable that is meaningful, victim-centered and restorative to all parties involved. The Sanford Strong Coalition supports initiatives to strengthen the health, well-being, and success of Sanford’s children, youth and their families. Utilizing restorative justice practices can grow a strong community through mutual respect, accountability, trust and reconciliation.
This initial meeting will allow everyone to share their interest in restorative justice, provide some basic information about Restorative Justice principles and goals, offer an overview of what is happening throughout York County and the State of Maine to develop restorative justice infrastructure and programs, and let the collective wisdom of the group drive our next steps.
