Testimonials
"Colorado is the frontline of Restorative Justice in the US, and Longmont is the frontline of Restorative Justice in Colorado."
~Dr. Jeffrey London, Metropolitan State University
"I just want to say that the LCJP saved our son! It has made such a huge positive impact on him personally and our family. I hope that LCJP can continue helping other young adolescence teens who lost their way to find it again before it is too late. After all, what kind of world would we live in if it were not for second chances to make it right and learn from mistakes? Thank you again to your staff and organization!"
~Mother of youth offender
