Restorative Partners
Modern Website Rebuild Supporting Restorative Justice Mission
Restorative Partners is a Central Coast nonprofit dedicated to reducing violence and recidivism through restorative justice programs, mentorship, housing, and community support for individuals impacted by incarceration. As both a board member and developer, I was asked to step in when their existing WordPress site became outdated and difficult to manage.
