The Bridge Café
Community-Driven Restaurant Platform Supporting Restorative Justice
As part of my role on the Board of Directors for Restorative Partners, I had the opportunity to design and develop the website for The Bridge Café—the Central Coast's first social enterprise restaurant. The café is a community-driven project that supports Restorative Partners' mission of transforming lives impacted by crime through healing services and relationships.
