Curious to learn more about restorative justice in schools? Check out the recently launched project, On Our Terms. The project was designed by an intergenerational group of New York City students, parents, educators, and activists, shaped by the wisdom of first-hand experience with restorative justice and activism. The online platform, and the companion print report, provides an opportunity to hear directly from those who have experienced restorative justice in schools on topics such as community and healing, reimagining safety, racial justice, and community building. Check out the project today to learn more about what restorative justice looks like in NYC schools today, as well as what the future could hold.

The Harvard Graduate School for Education has launched a FASFA Series to provide advice for how students, families, and colleges can best navigate the recent changes.
