Providing pathways to healing
Center for Community Justice responds to crime and conflict by focusing on personal responsibility and
accountability. Offenders face the people they’ve harmed and take steps to make it right.
​
40 years ago, CCJ became the first organization in the country to use this approach to crime, known as
restorative justice. Today, our work is helping to heal victims and break the cycle of crime and poverty that
plagues communities across the country.
​
In Elkhart County, Indiana, someone becomes the victim of a crime every two hours. CCJ is working to
provide pathways to healing for a community that has been harmed by crime.
