Restorative Justice Director  

Restorative justice is an alternative to traditional means of rehabilitation and punishment which brings together returning citizens and community members, focusing on conversation and understanding as the first steps on the path to healing.

Art education, paired with personal and professional development, and hands-on assistance on mural projects, forge the growth of strong, positive bonds among individuals who are incarcerated, returning citizens, justice-impacted individuals and communities. We place a strong emphasis on work readiness within our Guild program and give creative voice to people who have been disconnected from society.

Restorative Justice participants feel empowered by their accomplishments and emerge with a newfound sense of pride in their own abilities and enhanced employment readiness skills. The Restorative Justice program cultivates resilience in justice-impacted individuals, including those transitioning from incarceration back into civilian life.

Mural Arts Philadelphia is seeking a Director to lead the work of its nationally recognized Restorative Justice Program. Restorative Justice provides an opportunity for individuals to restore their relationships with themselves, their families, those experiencing harm, communities impacted by harm, and explore the opportunity for accountability. In the Restorative Justice paradigm, there is an acknowledgment of interconnectedness and alternatives to punishment. This reimaging courageously engages the first steps on the path to healing and positive contribution.

• Improve opportunities and quality of life for those in and returning from prison in order to reduce recidivism and increase chances of successful re-entry.

• High profile public art projects examining topics of critical relevance to the justice system.
• Art workshops at state and local prisons.
•  A four-to-six-month re-entry program in which participants build intra-program relationships, learn self-care practices, public engagement skills, apprentice on public art projects, and receive job training and placement support.
