OUR MISSION

The Restorative Justice Project Maine promotes justice that is community-based, repairs harm, and creates safety and well-being for all.  Our responses to crime and wrongdoing seek renewal and safety for the community, support and healing for victims and accountability and reintegration of the offender.

​Our responses to crime  and wrongdoing seek:
Renewal and safety for the community
Support and healing for the victims
Accountability and reintegration for the offender into the community



​OUR LEGACY
All crimes in Maine are met with a restorative response.  Restorative solutions are the norm; punitive solutions are the exception. Victims and communities have a prominent role in repairing harm caused by crime. 

​All schools and education institutions in Maine use restorative practices to support learning, build community, and for dealing with conflict and wrongdoing. 

Restorative practices are well understood, used effectively and with fidelity to core values and standards. 

Restorative solutions are widely available: anyone, anywhere, anytime can seek a restorative solution.  Sufficient, sustainable resources are dedicated to restorative practices; it is easy to find professionals and volunteers who are able to facilitate restorative responses.

​OUR VISION

"You have found an effective way to get through to people.  There are so many programs that are so focused on political correctness that very little good comes from them. We've become so concerned about not hurting feelings that young people are not truly confronted with what they've done. And let's face it, consequences are a joke these days. What I saw from your program was a young person's eyes opening up. A deep level of what his actions caused was brought to life within him."  -Officer Jim Bergdoll, Belfast Police Department
