West Virginia Restorative Justice Summit

West Virginia Restorative Justice 2026 Summit: "This Is How We Do It"

June 26, 2026 · WVU College of Law · Morgantown, WV · In Person + Live Online

Join us for a one-day gathering of community members, advocates, and professionals who believe in the power of restorative justice — and are ready to share, learn, and put it into practice.

This is not a traditional academic conference. It's a Community of Practice — where we talk honestly about what's working, what isn't, and how we keep going. Whether you're new to restorative justice or have been doing this work for years, this summit is built for you.

The agenda for the event will be posted here in the next few weeks.

What to expect:

  • Real-world stories from practitioners across West Virginia

  • Cross-sector connection across schools, courts, neighborhoods, and workplaces

  • Practical skills you can use immediately

  • Continuing Education Credit available for social workers, lawyers, peer recovery, and law enforcement professionals, counselors

Full program details coming soon. We'll share the agenda and session lineup as the date approaches.

Who should attend: Community members curious about restorative justice, and professionals — educators, counselors, peer recovery professionals, social workers, attorneys — who are doing or exploring this work.

We'll gather in Morgantown and online, so no matter where you are in West Virginia, there's a seat for you.

Registration:

  • Early Bird (in person, by April 30): $60

  • In Person (after April 30): $75

  • Virtual: $25
