OCRJC February 2024 Newsletter

The Orleans County Restorative Justice Center, along with its volunteers, staff, and board members, are thrilled to further enhance our progress towards integrating restorative justice services and practices in Orleans and Northern Essex counties.

We are embracing our communities through a range of initiatives, utilizing our established programs such as restorative panels, direct services for individuals, families, and affected communities, CoSA services, and monthly legal clinics in Newport and across the district. Our upcoming events involve engaging activities like community circles and broadening restorative justice education across various communities.

We invite you to join us in our goal of transforming conflict into community connections.

In this month’s newsletter we introduce Rick Ufford-Chase, the current Director of Newport City Downtown Development (NCDD), formerly known as the Newport Renaissance Corporation.
