*Our circle keepers co-created and co-facilitated with Dr. Thalia Gonzalez and Annalise Buth at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, during the spring of 2018, to create a conference about interrupting the adultification of youth of color.
During the spring of 2019, our circle keepers taught the staff and students at Youth Initiative High School, in Viroqua, about their work, and they facilitated school-wide circles and sat with the staff. They also facilitated a circle with members from the local community.
This past year, the class decided that they would teach their families about the work of restorative practice, so they held teaching circles with them.
