Restorative Justice Coaching & Facilitation with Molly R. Leach

Building Lasting Restorative Systems Rooted in Inclusion, Practice, and Purpose

Welcome. I’m Molly Rowan Leach—restorative justice educator, facilitator, and founder/producer/host of Restorative Justice on The Rise, the first podcast and advocacy platform, since 2011, of its kind. For 15+ years, I’ve worked with communities, organizations, schools, and individuals to create equity-centered, sustainable restorative justice programs that not only address harm—but transform the systems where it lives.

Whether you’re looking to launch a program, address workplace conflict, or reconnect with your “why” in social justice work, I offer customized coaching and facilitation rooted in values, listening, and lived experience.

You’ll gain:
