Collective Climb: Youth-led Restorative + Transformative Justice in Practice

April 16, 2026

The Stoneleigh Foundation hosted a webinar about youth-led restorative and transformative justice in practice.

The event featured a presentation on how Collective Climb is leveraging restorative and transformative justice to help young people express their leadership, take accountability for their actions, experience healing, and build a thriving community. In addition, several young people who have become trained restorative practitioners shared inspiring reflections on their own growth and development through Collective Climb.

Collective Climb is a Black Feminist organization empowering BIPOC youth across Philadelphia. To meet this mission, Collective Climb hosts several programs, including: the Restorative Justice Diversion Program, Restorative Community Project, Youth Advisory Board, and Collective Kickbacks.
