UC Berkeley Restorative Justice Center

What UC Berkeley Restorative Justice Center does

The UC Berkeley Restorative Justice Center (also known as the Restorative Justice Hub or "RJ Hub") is a chartered student organization under the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC) at UC Berkeley. Its stated mission is threefold: to provide training, workshops, and services in community building and restorative practices; to educate peers about restorative justice principles and processes; and to serve as a centralized resource hub for restorative justice information, connections, and referrals both within and beyond campus. The organization is structured as a peer-led, on-campus program, with approximately 6 members operating from the Berkeley campus and serving UC Berkeley students and the broader campus community exclusively.

The RJ Hub's core product is a publicly accessible website (rjhub.berkeley.edu, also referenced as rjcenter.berkeley.edu) that aggregates restorative justice content, recommends books, films, and Bay Area RJ organizations, profiles Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation projects, and publishes an active editorial blog covering restorative justice policy and practice. The organization has additionally developed the "RJ Student Resource Hub," a program layer offering conflict transformation workshops and restorative conversations. There is no proprietary technology stack, no software product, no API, and no commercial platform; the website is built on UC Berkeley's Open Berkeley publishing framework. Distribution is direct via campus programming and supplemented by organic social channels on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

The organization operates as a non-commercial entity. Services are provided free of charge to UC Berkeley students and the campus community, with no disclosed pricing model, no funding rounds, and no external investors. Revenue, if any, is implicit through ASUC student fee allocations and university affiliation rather than commercial contracts. It maintains partnerships with the ASUC, UC Berkeley's Path to Care office, and the Center for Student Conduct, which integrate restorative justice into the university's formal conduct and care infrastructure. Geographic scope is limited to California, with no claim of broader commercial expansion.

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• Center for Justice Innovation: A national nonprofit that works with courts, communities, and schools to advance restorative and community justice. Overlaps with the RJ Hub's mission of promoting restorative practices, but operates at a much larger institutional scale with research and policy influence.
• Impact Justice: A national nonprofit driving innovation in the justice system, including restorative justice programs in youth and criminal justice contexts. Comparable in mission scope around restorative and community justice, but operates at a much larger, multi-program scale.
• International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP): A leading graduate school and professional training provider dedicated to restorative practices. Comparable in promoting restorative justice education and training, but operates at a much larger scale with credentialed programs and a global footprint.
• National Association of Community and Restorative Justice (NACRJ): A membership organization supporting the field of restorative justice across community and educational settings. Comparable in promoting RJ principles and resource-sharing, but functions as a national convening body rather than a direct service provider.

Regional players

• Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY): A Bay Area nonprofit implementing restorative justice in Oakland schools and the juvenile justice system. Comparable to the RJ Hub in mission and geography, but operates as an established nonprofit serving the broader Oakland community rather than a single university campus.

Direct peers

• University of San Diego Center for Restorative Justice: A university-based academic center focused on restorative justice research, education, and practice. Comparable as a higher-education institution housing restorative justice work, though with a stronger academic and research orientation than a student-led center.
