Restorative Practices

Restorative Practices (RP), which has its roots in Restorative Justice, is a new field of study being used in schools to improve student's accountability, community safety, and competency development.​
Training Overview
Youth for Christ is provides multiple innovative and dynamic workshops that equipt school site staff to implmenent RP which typically increases student responsibility and decreases suspensions and expulsions.  Consultants (YFC Staff) also conduct a site visit and schedule follow-up visits to facilitate the sites' implementation plans. ​

Workshop Goals
1. Introduce the concepts of Retorative Practices.
2. Offer new tools that can reduce the need for school exclusion and Juvenile Justice system
involvement regarding school misconduct.
3. Provide strategies to enhance the school environment, change the school culture,
and restore relationships after conflict arises.


​While definitive numbers and statistics are still being gathered,
​many schools report a minimum of a 50% decrease in suspensions alone.
"RELEASING TEACHERS FROM THEIR CLASSROOMS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE DELICATE. IF THEY ARE GOING TO SPEND THE TIME, THEY WANT IT TO BE RELEVANT, ENGAGING, DELIVERED BY COMPETENT TRAINERS, AND INCLUDE SOME PRACTICAL TAKE-AWAYS THEY CAN APPLY IN THEIR CLASSROOMS THE NEXT DAY. ALL OF THESE WERE TRUE OF THE RP TRAINING PROVIDED TO MCS BY YFC." ~ MIKE HENDERSON, FMR MODESTO CITY SCHOOLS SENIOR DIRECTOR OF ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION
 
"WHEN THE DISTRICT DECIDED TO BEGIN TRAINING OUR SITES ON RESTORATIVE PRACTICES, IT WAS IMPORTANT WE FOUND A CONTRACTOR WHO WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, ENGAGING, AND ABLE TO PERSUADE OUR STAFF TO SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF USING AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO SCHOOL DISCIPLINE. YFC EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS IN ALL OF THESE AREAS."
​~ MARK HERBST, FMR MODESTO CITY SCHOOLS SENOR DIRECTOR OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
