POSTPONED: Social Action Speaker Lunch: Communities for Restorative Justice - Yael Yaaloz
New Date to be Announced
“Restorative justice is a process to involve those with a stake in an offense. To collectively identify and address harms, needs and obligations, to heal and put things right."
Everyone is invited for our monthly free lunch after coffee hour in the Alliance Room. Yael Yaaloz will speak about her work as Program Director at Communities for Restorative Justice. Yael works with perpetrators and the community including police officials to keep people out of prison and at the same time begin to heal the hurt cause.
Yael Yaaloz, Program Director at C4RJ, completed her studies in Conflict Resolution and Coexistence as well as a Non-Profit MBA at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management. She is passionate about restorative practice and uses her experience in leadership and peacebuilding to uplift the work of restorative justice moving us toward rehabilitation and away from incarceration.
