Mission
ICM's mission is to introduce restorative practices as catalysts for youth to heal from
violence, crime, racism, the juvenile justice system, and poverty, fostering change within
themselves, their families, and communities.
Vision
ICM’s vision is to activate spaces where youth are equipped with the knowledge, skills,
resources, and support needed to heal from adversity and injustice.
We aim to foster traditionally underserved yet resilient communities through the
transformative power of connectivity, love, trauma-responsive approaches, and
storytelling. Our youth are empowered to create nontraditional engagement and
contribute their leadership skills to take the charge in social justice, impacting
communities across America with their innovative ideas and fresh energy that promote
transformative social change.

"I love doing the healing circles. It's so great to check in and see where everyone is at and put myself in other shoes. It's helped me learn that it's good to not keep emotions harboring inside. I bring it into my everyday life by checking in with other people outside of the program."
