ORP Restorative Practices Advisory Committees and meetings
Every county or jurisdiction in Minnesota is to establish Restorative Practices Advisory Committees made of up community members and justice system staff.
These committees develop, expand and maintain restorative practices criteria and processes for their communities. They also determine which restorative initiatives from their community are endorsed to submit proposals for grants.
Use this form to share information with us about a county or jurisdiction Restorative Practices Advisory Committee.
For more information, contact Director Kendall Hughes.
