Who are the Community Peace Builders?
For more than 42 years, the Moran Center has zealously served youth and families stressed by poverty, housing insecurity, unemployment, substance abuse, violence, mental health challenges, and legacies of racial and ethnic oppression through legal representation and trauma-informed mental health services.
Wanting to further disrupt violence and systems of oppression, the Moran Center launched the Roger Pascal Restorative Justice Initiative in July 2018 to build a stronger, more equitable, and just community through empathy, understanding of context, and a better approach to justice.
With the guidance of Pam Cytrynbaum (Restorative Justice Manager) and Emeric Mazibuko (Restorative Justice Coordinator), the Moran Center convenes restorative circles facilitated by trained Circle Keepers called Community Peace Builders – youth and emerging adults leading intergenerational dialogues, and offering spaces to provide those harmed by institutional oppression spaces to voice those harms in the spirit of truth-telling and reconciliation.
