Project Reset in Queens provides programming that encourages participants to reflect on their arrest experience, connect with their community, and develop skills for avoiding further involvement with the justice system.
Project Reset in Queens is provided by the Queens Community Justice Center. Participants can resolve their case by completing one session; staff work with each participant to choose the type of programming best suited for them. Options include an interactive group with a focus on procedural justice and the criminal justice process, and an individual session where participants can discuss specific topics and receive referrals to appropriate community-based services. Project Reset programming gives participants the opportunity to learn about the criminal justice system, explore any challenges that may have led to their arrest, and discuss strategies to avoid future involvement with the system.
