Restorative Justice Initiatives

The Restorative Justice Project of the Midcoast has four program areas in need of volunteer assistance and mentoring.

  • The Restorative School Practices which works with schools to change the school climate with regard to behavioral issues resulting in detentions and suspensions.
  • The Community Resolution Teams (CRT) provides juvenile offenders with an alternative to arrest, adjudication, jail and probation.
  • Court Deferred Dispositions provide individuals facing potential jail time the opportunity to address their crime through a community conference process.
  • The Community Reentry Program assists inmates from the Waldo County jail in more successfully transitioning back into the community.
