Peacebuilders is a Toronto-based non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to justice for youth facing barriers and advocating for transformative change within the education and justice system. For more than 20 years, Peacebuilders has worked alongside schools, courts and community partners to support youth through restorative justice programs that strengthen accountability, repair harm and build stronger communities.

Traditional punitive approaches often fail to address the root causes of conflict. Peacebuilders promotes a restorative approach grounded in respect and responsibility that fosters dialogue, healing and long-term positive outcomes for youth and communities. Through programs delivered across Ontario, Peacebuilders supports young people to remain engaged in school, avoid justice system involvement and move forward on positive pathways.
