Circles of Belonging for Youth

  • Cairn Christian Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This interactive 3 session Restorative Justice program helps teens build leadership, communication skills, and healthy relationships through hands-on activities, games, and facilitated Connection Circles. Youth learn how to move from punishment to restoration, practice curiosity and respect, take responsibility for their actions, repair harm, and reintegrate into community with confidence.

Rooted in Indigenous traditions and equity-centered practices, this program empowers young people to lead, listen, and grow—while having fun, feeling seen, and building real connection with peers.

Perfect for teens who want to strengthen relationships, become leaders, and learn skills they’ll actually use in school, at home, and in life.

Registration is Required.

Dates: Feb 22, Mar 08 & 22

Time: 12-2p
Address: Cairn Church, 1700 Stonehenge Dr, Lafayette, CO
