RJCO envisions safe, inclusive, and resilient communities that address harm by fostering active accountability, meaningful repair, and healing centered approaches.
RJCO Vision
RJCO Mission
RJCO is a coalition of Oregon restorative justice practitioners, programs, and advocates. We promote and support the implementation of restorative justice practices, principles, and models at all levels of society from individuals to institutions.
RJCO Coordinating Committee Commitment to Racial Equity
Given both the historical and systemic exclusion, victimization, and criminalization of BIPOC in the State of Oregon, and nationally, RJCO believes that it is imperative that we as a collective body incorporate a critical race analysis to our work. Without it we will never achieve the transformative outcomes we are looking for in our work as Restorative Justice practitioners and advocates, and furthermore will likely continue to replicate patterns of systemic harms of the past.
