real impact.

Real relationships,

At Pathways to Restorative Communities (P2RC), our work is measured in relationships repaired, communities strengthened, and educators equipped with immediately actionable skills. Restorative practices don't always reduce neatly to a number, as sense of belonging and trust are hard to quantify, but our clients' feedback and our ongoing partnerships tell the story of our impact.

Work with Us

We work with a wide range of people and organizations, including schools, businesses, non-profits, faith-based organizations, young people, teachers, school counselors, youth workers, administrators, community leaders, and others who want to bring Restorative Practices to their particular context. Individuals from all over the country have participated in our online trainings.

By The Numbers

We survey participants after every workshop — not to collect impressive numbers, but to keep improving. Since April 2024, we've gathered feedback from 375 participants across 13 workshop sessions. Here's what we’ve learned:

Hours volunteered by our team as facilitators and trainers

Facilitator quality is consistently where we score highest :

across every session that asked, participants rated our facilitators 4.5 out of 5 on average for preparedness and knowledge — with over two-thirds giving the top score.

“Beth did a great job with our session and we look forward to applying the learned skills to our practice.”
— Dean, Chelmsford Public Schools

Beyond satisfaction, we also want to know whether training changes what people actually do. In the sessions where we asked participants directly about their intent to use what they learned, over 9 in 10 said they planned to apply the new skills immediately.

A Community in Crisis
An Important Resource

  • As always, the facilitators were fantastic! I wish all PD could be as engaging!!!!

    —Educator, Blanchard Middle School

  • Restorative Conferences are definitely a good option for middle school administrators to use for student conflict. This is an add to my practice that I really appreciate.

    — Principal, Stony Brook Middle School

  • This was a wonderful PD. We were treated like professionals, not talked down to, and got a bit of instruction with an excellent mix of practice in. Perfect!! I felt very supported throughout the entire time.

    — June 2025 Workshop Participant

  • Beth and Rebecca are an invaluable resource for parents. My husband and I took the RP for Caregivers course. We gained communication tools to help us handle conflict within our family with understanding and empathy.
