Transforming Lives
Impacted by Crime through
Healing Services & Relationships
Our professional staff and an army of volunteers offer programs, services, homes & relationships that empower mind-body-spirit & community transformation.
2025 Fall Appeal Campaign
Your donation helps us transform lives impacted by crime through healing services and relationships. The powerful changes we see in the lives of our clients happens only because donors like you choose to invest in second chances.
We're working hard to reach our goal, and every donation counts. When you give, you aren't just donating dollars—you are standing with someone rebuilding their life, breaking the cycle of incarceration, and reintegrating as a valued member of our San Luis Obispo community.
This work is real. This work is happening now. But it only happens because of YOU.
We Believe...
- Violence is not a solution to any problem
- Every person is endowed with a sacred dignity
- Every person is capable of changing, healing, and being restored
NOW OPEN!
- The Bridge Cafe is a nonprofit social enterprise cafe run by Restorative Partners.
- A business whose primary purpose is addressing a social challenge, rather than creating profit for owners or shareholders.
- On-the-job training and certification for justice-involved individuals in partnership with Cuesta College. This creates employment options to the clients we serve and others who are justice-involved.
Our Approach
Restorative Partners practices Restorative justice, an approach to crime - or wrongdoing - that centers on:
- The harm that has been done to people and relationships
- The obligations and responsibilities this harm creates
- Justice that involves wrongdoers, victims and community members in efforts to heal the harm and right the wrong
Restorative justice acknowledges our interconnectedness as human beings.
We Pledge To...
- Respect the dignity of every person
- Overcome violence with love and compassion
- Accompany and support anyone affected by crime on their healing journey
- Be an instrument of restoration, forgiveness, and reconciliation
