CORA provides this assistance throughout the greater Philadelphia area. "Children are the Heart of the Matter"The Restorative Justice department of CORA Services is launching the Transforming Justice Hub: a two-tiered project that seeks to empower Philadelphians who have been both impacted by and involved in neighborhood gun violence to interrupt cycles of conflict through community dialogue and community organizing.In service of this mission, the hub will host a recurring six-month Popular Education course that trains youth, in neighborhoods most familiar with the conditions of gun violence, to become certified circle keepers, peer mediators, and community organizers. The course comprises 40 hours of facilitation training, 10 hours of political education, and 6 hours of hands-on practice leading restorative justice models. The second component of this project is providing restorative justice services, from de-escalation to healing circles, to the overall community in these youth's neighborhoods. The youth participating in the six-month course will partner with CORA staff to facilitate these models in their respective neighborhoods.This project was designed with the understanding that neighborhood gun violence, and other forms of intracommunal violence, is often a trauma response of marginalized communities being subjected to oppressive living conditions.
