The Community Service Foundation (CSF), a sister organization of the
IIRP, runs a court-ordered community service program for youth, as part
of the in-home supervision and foster-care programs, that is truly
restorative. The youths perform tasks in the community, from visiting
nursing homes to planting trees, but with a difference. Restorative
practices - the combination of support and accountablity that is the
cornerstone of every CSF program - informs every aspect of the
community service program as well.
