Community Justice Initiatives (CJI) is a non-profit organization, known world-wide as having started the first Restorative Justice program.  We provide services in conflict resolution, group support for persons impacted by sexual trauma, and support for federally sentenced women through a weekly recreation program (SOWOC) and Community Connections on site at Grand Valley Institute for Women. 

All of our programs are founded on principles of Restorative Justice, a way of addressing conflict and crime that engages the person who caused the harm, people who were affected by the harm, and the community.

Our programs and subsequent services are made possible through volunteers, donations, individual and public support. Services are available free or for a nominal fee.

CJI MISSION STATEMENT

CJI strives to build a safer, more connected community through supporting creative, peaceful solutions in situations of conflict or harm.  Restorative Justice principles are at the heart of everything we do.

We look forward to working with you to build a better community.
