Goodhue County Restorative Initiative Grant

The Goodhue County Board of Commissioners voted June 3rd  to accept the 2025 Restorative Practice Initiative Grant, awarded by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

The $494,713 grant will enable Goodhue County Court Services to contract restorative youth services through a partnership with the Red Wing based organization RiseUp.

Formerly known as Red Wing Youth Outreach, RiseUp Partnership has served the community for over 30 years, providing a safe, inclusive space that meets the emotional, educational and social needs of youth.

This grant award is the result of a collaborative effort between Goodhue County Court Services and the RiseUp Partnership.

Grant funds will be used to integrate restorative principles into the network of youth services across Goodhue County.

The award is expected to support programming through the beginning of 2027.
