Community Event for Families

January 19, 2023

A Community Circle is a place to listen and speak, a place to gain a deeper understanding of self and others. A circle is formed when a group of people come together with the intention of listening to each other. The community is invited to speak and listen to one another in a shared space.

Anyone and everyone are welcome to join these circles. Circle participants are invited to build bridges and discuss topics relevant to themselves and/or the greater community in Camden. These circles are opportunities for members of the community to sit and converse in a shared space with neighbors that they may not otherwise have opportunities to meet.

Restorative Justice Training
