Partners in Restorative Initiatives: Ambassador Grant Spotlight #5

Partners in Restorative Initiatives (PiRI) is an organization based in Rochester, NY, that provides training and consultation to support restorative practices in schools. They work hard to build community awareness for restorative practices, and facilitate structured restorative conferences to repair harm. Rohan Parikh, a Class of 2019 Ambassador, applied for his first ambassador grant this past year in order to help PiRI build up more access to restorative practices in Rochester. With this grant, PiRI will construct a new website and accompanying design and print material, and envisions a series of 5-8 public events that include virtual workshops, lectures, and talking circles that can reach over 100 people. The Ascienzo Family Foundation granted PiRI $5,000 this year in order to help them achieve this goal!
