Washington County Community Circles, Inc. is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that uses restorative justice Circles to address crime and conflict in its communities. Also called Peacemaking Circles, this approach brings together people affected by an incident to participate in shaping responses and rebuilding safety. It operates in the Alternative Dispute Resolution space and works in partnership with the justice system, taking referrals from courts as well as from community members. Volunteers collaborate with clients and, if requested, victims, to promote accountability, repair harm, and craft agreements intended to prevent future violence. Based in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, the organization serves the broader Washington County area and also handles direct community referrals for neighborhood disputes, school conflicts, domestic abuse victim support, or general conflict resolution.
