Program Information
Programming through the Midtown Community Court consists of an interactive 2-hour group session grounded in procedural and restorative justice philosophies. Participants engage in conversations that encourage connection and reflection about the criminal justice system, the experience and impact of arrest, and perspectives on accountability. Young adults may instead choose to participate in an arts-based session at the New Museum.
Spanish-speaking groups are offered at least once per month. Individual counseling sessions are also offered on an as-needed basis. Click the logo for additional information.
Osborne offers four different program interventions: a training in Social Resilience to help participants respond to stressful situations, a Restorative Justice circle, Narcan training, and community building projects with local partners in Harlem. All programming lasts between 2-4 hours and can be completed in one day. If interested, individuals can be linked to additional, voluntary services on an ongoing basis.
