NCRJ's purpose is to provide a restorative and balanced approach to crime and conflict that promotes justice and resolution for victims, reparation for the community, along with offender accountability, personal development and  re-integration into the community.

It is the core belief of NCRJ that conflict and crime without our community has a ripple effect that causes adverse effects to all parties involved, weakens community bond, and negatively impacts public safety. And in response to those harms victims, community, and offenders should equally be afforded the opportunity to express these impacts. In a collaborative effort, and when appropriate, the parties should work together to identify these harms and work toward reparation. 

NCRJ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

A little about our history: 

Our restorative justice program is made up of individuals who believe in a restorative approach to crime and conflict. Our group is committed to the development of restorative principles and practices within our community, our schools, and our justice system. The board hosted Wyoming's first ever conference on restorative justice in March, 2017. Shortly after the conference NCRJ folks started drafting a pilot based on feedback gathered during the conference planning session. During the first week of August, NCRJ hosted a community informational meeting followed by  2 and a half days of Community Member and Facilitator training. In September of 2017, NCRJ launched its RJ Conferencing Program. For those juveniles referred, this process is typically in lieu of prosecution and/or revocation.
