Benjamin Goldenhour, Director of Restorative Start
Benjamin is serious about play, encouraged in chaos, and loves a good ol’ fashioned mistake. Having worked alongside youth for two decades in myriad capacities, he has dedicated his professional life to the practice of continuous growth and an ever-evolving love of learning. In 2016, after years of working in various education and youth spaces, he founded an anti-bias Early Learning Center grounded in the values of Restorative Justice, Self-Development, and Community Service. Following seven years of leading that stellar school community, Benjamin now brings his presence and passion to NC4RJ’s growing ecosystem of relationship-strengthening programming with Restorative Start.
He is a father, a partner, a son, a brother, a friend, an uncle, a neighbor, a musician, and a creative cook with mixed results.
