Last fiscal year, Huckleberry’s juvenile justice program, Community Assessment & Resource Center (CARC) launched RESET (Restoring and Empowering Social Equity & Truth), a restorative justice program which brings together juvenile justice-involved youth responsible for harm caused, and individuals directly impacted, to collaboratively create a restorative action plan.

RESET provides circle conferencing for conflict resolution to CARC clients, the greater community, and/or youth referred by probation as a diversion from the traditional juvenile justice system. Circle conferences create a supportive, safe, and confidential space to prevent harm, repair conflict, and strengthen community. This process allows the person harmed, responsible youth, family, and community members to collaboratively create a restorative plan that directly addresses the ways in which each participant was impacted.
