Restorative Houston has an official Youth Advisory Board! They range in age from 14-20, and all have either volunteered as circle keepers or gone through our youth apprenticeship. Their mission is to amplify our work further and recruit youth into a leadership pipeline that remains sustainable. They worked on bylaws and brainstorming what community building activities they wanted to engage in. They chose a color palette for an adjacent social media presence that they will create just for RH’s youth.

Big thanks to Dane Gare, who joins our apprenticeship in the fall, for volunteering as an adult ally in the space.

Houston born and raised, Elizabeth is the second oldest of six kids and the eldest daughter of her Mexican-American family. Naturally empathic, bold, and courageous, she is dedicated to using her voice to speak up for the minority groups who often get spoken over. Elizabeth is in her senior year at the University of Houston- Downtown and completing her internship with Restorative Houston will aid her in finishing her needed field practicum hours to obtain her Bachelors of Social Work Spring of 2027. God willingly and following her love of education, she plans to jump straight into UHD’s Masters of Social Work program Fall of 2027. Eager and excited, Elizabeth looks forward to learning all she can while working with Restorative Houston as she dreams of opening her own Non-Profit benefitting women and adolescents in the future. With a servant’s heart, Elizabeth hopes to contribute to the healing of the
community and journey with women and children on their route to lifelong well-being.

We look forward to working with you for the next year Elizabeth!

We want to thank Jamilah Robinson for inviting us to her Think & Thrive for Non-profits event last week! We got so much useful information on grant readiness & made really great connections.

Jamilah’s business Elevate Your Impact helps nonprofits with their social & digital media. She donated her skills and helped us get a social media marketing plan for 2026 when we were awarded the Gift of Guidance from Houston Social Media Breakfast which was so incredibly helpful to us!

She also founded Missing Pieces Support Group for women who have experienced pregnancy loss. So if you or anyone you know may benefit from this org, make sure to share or follow!

Jamilah has been super supportive of our work & we look forward to continuing our relationship with her. Please go follow her pages! She’s always offering really great content on her Elevate Your Impact pages, especially for nonprofits. Her podcast is Elevate Your Impact on all platforms 😊🫶. We appreciate & value you and all you do Jamilah!

Our pilot harm repair apprenticeship cohort is officially done! We cannot express our gratitude enough to the group of people that drove across the city to an incredibly hot warehouse 3 Saturdays for four hours, and who also did four 2 hour virtual sessions and gave us invaluable feedback throughout the process. Co-creating in community is the Restorative Houston way and we are better for it because we know every person has a wisdom, experience & knowledge that we all need & is equally valuable.

This last session we practiced mirror listening where we state in our own words what the other person is saying during a conflict. We role played different conflict scenarios including a family conflict, a conflict with students at a school & a conflict between non-profit organizations. We learned a ton from each other and have a lot more to develop before we launch our next harm repair apprenticeship cohort next year!

Our vision for this program is to equip people to be able to facilitate through different types of conflicts so that we build a better, healthier conflict culture that doesn’t depend on the current often ineffective institutional way of dealing with conflict and start doing it in a restorative way where relationships are prioritized, everyone’s humanity is respected and true accountability is taken.

Cultivating a more restorative conflict culture is a way to address issues at the root to prevent conflicts from escalating and becoming something that can only be dealt with through the criminal justice system and other established harmful systems.

We know there is a growing need for this type of equipping, especially in this time of history. This is part of our mission & we’re incredibly excited to be able to offer it!

We’re constantly refining how to evaluate our work - not in an artificial, inflated way, but in an authentic way that bridges the art and science of restorative circle work. Read more from our participants.

One of our apprentices, Jasmine Shah did her capstone circle on Sita, the main female character in an ancient Indian epic called Ramayana, in which we explored the themes of the divine feminine and masculine.

It never ceases to amaze us how versatile the Circle structure is to perfectly accommodate such a wide range of topics, and vibes. It was absolutely beautiful. Jasmine had us do a deep forest meditation and blackout poetry exercise that really blew our minds.

We are so proud of her for doing such a phenomenal job on her first circle that she created from start to finish! We can’t wait to see what other circles she creates!
