PiRI is proud to celebrate two powerful certification milestones.

We honor the completion of our Train-the-Trainer, Tier I Apprenticeship Program, preparing certified district trainers to lead Community Building Circles and Tier I Restorative Practices within school communities.

We also celebrate 12 Nazareth University Community Youth Development students who completed their Certification in Advanced Circle Facilitation, deepening their capacity to use circles and restorative practices with youth and community.

These certifications represent a growing movement of people committed to connection, accountability, healing, belonging, and restorative culture.

Congratulations to every participant, mentor, educator, and partner who helped bring these circles to life.

The work continues. The circle expands.

This year has been one of growth, stretch, and collaboration for PiRI! We need your help going into 2026 to hold more circles that bring people together, train more community members to use restorative skills to respond to conflict, and facilitate more processes that heal.

Have you attended a free community training with PiRI this year?

Today is the deadline to submit your feedback to support future Restorative Practices programming in the city of Rochester!

If you can spare a few moments, we would love for you to complete a short survey designed by CGR to evaluate the Rochester Peace Collective and inform future community efforts.
