About Us
Restorative Vision & Mission
Restorative practices are a community building framework for preventing and repairing harm. Our restorative vision is a collaborative community of trust, empathy, and active accountability.
As a team of facilitators, our mission is to promote and center a campus culture where harm is prevented and repaired through open dialogue, courageous conversations, restorative practices, and community building in a supportive environment.
Restorative Teams
The Restorative Dream Team serves as an advisory board for the strategic planning of integrating restorative practices at the college. The Restorative Dream Team gathers monthly and is a part of the Restorative Facilitator cohort that provides restorative training, circles, and consultation. The Restorative Dream Team is a group of campus partners that serve in critical areas across campus with restorative influence, potential, and strengths. Invitations to join the Restorative Dream Team require restorative training and demonstrated investment in integrating restorative practices across the college.
Restorative facilitators are a collective of BC staff, faculty, and community partners who are trained to facilitate proactive and responsive restorative circles, training, and activities on various topics including:
- Community building/sense of belonging
- Restorative accountability
- Navigating team dynamics
- Responding to harm

The Restorative Faculty Fellow, consults with faculty across the college on restorative recommendations for classrooms and academic divisions & teams, leading restorative interventions proactively and in response to issues while also integrating restorative circles into the First Year Seminar curriculum.
