Our Impact

Infographic showing estimates of 1500 people participating in TRC workshops, training, circles, and consultations in 2024. It includes circles representing 22 cohorts trained, 38 youth leaders trained, 40 days of training, 380 circle keepers trained, 49 workshops, and 81 circles.

“TRC's work has been extremely informative, and it has changed my mentality regarding what a process and a system could look like. I am not alone; many individuals in our community who've gone through the training have said that it has changed their life or that they've gained a completely new perspective and a much needed change and shift in the way they all think.”

In the center, there are various objects including stones, a lit candle, ceramic dishes, sunflowers, and small decorative items. Cards and printed materials are also placed on and around the cloth.

“I absolutely loved community circles. I’ve been using them in my classroom. But having this training has guided me to tweak my circles and make them even a better experience for my students and myself.”

“After attending (TRC) workshops our youth workers have shown remarkable changes in their behavior and communication skills. Their voice, how they interact with one another, and approach conflict has transformed remarkably. As a supervisor this shift in culture makes me hopeful for each of our young employees. This workshop is equipped with tools necessary for building a holistic, intentional community. We are beyond thankful and extremely blessed to have the Restorative Center as a resource for our youth, organization, and community.”
