We are a nonprofit volunteer-based organization practicing restorative justice Circles to address crime and conflict in our communities. WCCC takes referrals from the court and community to help clients take responsibility for their actions, repair harm, and with volunteers, work towards building a better community.

Community Circles, also known as Peacemaking Circles, are a community‐directed process most commonly used for addressing issues surrounding local incidents of crime.  Circles are a restorative justice process that bring together community - the people affected by crime - to actively participate in the response to violence and social problems. Community volunteers work with clients referred from the court system and victims, if they choose to participate. Circles in Washington County are created in partnership with the justice system, and create a respectful space to support victims, develop sentencing agreements for clients, and empower all interested community members to work toward preventing future occurrences of crime.  Circles also take referrals directly from the community, such as neighborhood disputes, school conflict, domestic abuse victim support, or general community conflict resolution.
