When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change I want to run away
I want to run away
I want a second chance
I want a second chance
I just want to feel safe
I just want to feel safe

Do you know a child who has struggled with life issues, feelings of inadequacy, bullying, threats, a lack of motivation, or fears?  How about substance abuse, gang involvement, or violence?

Rich or poor, many of our kids are getting left behind and left out. They feel afraid, and fear brings out the worst in all of us. Perhaps no one has taken the time to show them how to act, or relate to other people, or negotiate their way through disagreements. They use anger and violence to protect themselves. They join gangs to make themselves feel like they have a family.

The current system uses punishment to try to control them. Many go to jail or prison at a young age. Thousands give up hope and check out of life with drugs, alcohol and suicide.

We have a solution...Restorative Justice training for schools, youth organizations and prisons. You can help!
