YOUTH RESTORATIVE ACTION PROJECT 

Restorative Practice for Youth,  by Youth

Our vision is to provide a relationship-based, holistic environment which uses an autonomous and youth-centered voice as a way to make authentic and sustainable change for both the individual and the community.

ABOUT US

Making Change Possible

Founded and sanctioned as a justice committee in 2003. Youth Restorative Action Project (YRAP) has made a tremendous impact thanks to the help of youth volunteers in the Edmonton community. YRAP is mandated to work with young people who have caused harm while being affected by a variety of significant social issues such as intolerance, racism, substance use, homelessness, family violence and prostitution. We also offer those who have caused harm an opportunity to take responsibility for their actions and to grow positively, while offering victims a meaningful role in the process.
