A network of care that works.

RCP is deeply embedded within a network of 7 different non-profit community organizations centered around our principles of having accountable and caring relationships. This network is committed to caring wholistically for youth in King County who would otherwise experience the harmful effects of the incarceration system.

Healing over punishment.

Breaking the victim/perpetrator binary, RCP works to actively challenge how the legal system understands safety in our community— rather than a focus on punishment, RCP recognizes that all individuals are deserving of healing and restoration. RCP supports every party in situations of harm, providing them with resources, community supports, and restorative practices in order to ensure that all those involved are supported and able to move forward.

  • The idea of restorative justice is that harm engenders needs and that those needs should be met. Who is going to meet those needs and how will people meet those needs?

  • "My appreciation for the program is how we were able to talk and ask questions that I was never able to or had space to ask. I'm looking forward to being a program apprentice because I know how much circle helped me understand my emotions more and understand the people around me . I think that circle is so useful and important for Black and Brown Youth"
