The Center for Restorative Justice (CRJ) is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization serving Bennington County, Vermont. For over 40 years, CRJ has been providing highly successful restorative justice programs, effective education, prevention resources, and valuable intervention services.

Our Continuum of Services

CRJ provides a wide array of restorative justice programs and services helping both young people and adults take an active role in becoming positive, contributing members of their community. Our program continuum begins with early intervention programming in schools through to reentry programs focused on helping people returning to the community from incarceration.

“I wanted to thank you and your program once again for what you did for my son months ago during his greatest struggles. Your program gave him a chance to figure out the difficult struggle of life with addiction rather than directing him to the legal system!”
