The Restorative Community Conference Program is designed to:

• provide opportunities for the young person to accept responsibility for his/her actions and repair the harm he or she has done;
• rebuild relationships between the young person and family, community and victim;
• reintegrate the young person into his/her family and/or the community;
• reduce repeat offending
• give victims an opportunity to tell their story, identify and talk about their needs and involve them in deciding on a way the harm can be repaired; and
• strengthen communities.

The restorative community conference process encourages all participants to be directly involved in decisions that affect their lives.
