Description
In this panel event we learn from and with several youth-led restorative justice programs. We want to learn from what's working in these programs and also collectively vision and push around how we can better center youth and justice in these kinds of programs. We hope that this panel event inspires other Vermont schools to start and grow youth-led restorative justice programs!
