Punitive systems create cycles of harm by criminalizing and traumatizing low-income Black, Indigenous, and young people of color. 

Community Works aims to prevent people from entering criminal legal systems and to improve outcomes for any who still do by transforming justice at the individual and systemic level.

Community Works is the premier provider of restorative justice programs in the San Francisco Bay Area, launching in 1997 with the first restorative justice program in a county jail and the first pre-charge diversion program for youth in San Francisco and Alameda counties. Our restorative justice, arts, and human service programs include anti-violence, job readiness, batterers’ intervention, and family-strengthening services for individuals, families, and communities affected by incarceration. Our restorative arts programs provide a safe and creative space for individuals to overcome the trauma of incarceration.
