Organization Description

The Center for Restorative Justice Works unites children, families, and communities separated by crime and the criminal justice system. CRJW calls the community to set aside pre-judgments about women and men in prison in order to work together to accompany families torn apart by the crime and the criminal justice system; create awareness about the negative impacts of incarceration on children and families, and advocate for programs and policies that restore relationships.

Program Information

The Center for Restorative Justice Works unites children, families, and communities separated by crime and the criminal justice system. CRJW calls the community to set aside pre-judgments about women and men in prison in order to work together to accompany families torn apart by the crime and the criminal justice system; create awareness about the negative impacts of incarceration on children and families, and advocate for programs and policies that restore relationships. Program Information Get On The Bus is a staple program of a non-profit organization called the Center For Restorative Justice Works (CRJW). GOTB offers a free annual event reuniting children with their incarcerated parents across 12 participating prisons in California.

All students, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation, are open and welcome to participate.

Health & Safety

When contacting families or participating in GOTB visiting events, students may be interacting with the elderly, the disabled and/or minors. If students participate in GOTB events, they will be required to attend a trauma informed care training which addresses how to communicate and support families with an incarcerated loved one prior and during, and after their visit with their incarcerated loved one. Since the majority of our participants caregivers may be elderly, we will also ask that you act accordingly and remain patient and understanding of their situation. If working at the CRJW office, students may be interacting with individuals who are part of ourTransition4Success Program and formerly incarcerated. Staff at the office will provide an onboarding training that will address how to appropriately support and interact with participants of this program.

N/A

Supervisors will provide ongoing feedback to students on their performance. Supervisors will also conduct check-in meetings with students on their progress as needed.
