About this service
Ototema is a program about friendship and restorative justice. Mentors are matched in a one-to-one relationship with a youth who is in conflict with the law, or at risk of becoming formally involved. The youths in this program are between the ages of 7 18 and include younger youths referred from the MB Turnabout program, older youths on probation, and at times youths incarcerated at the Manitoba Youth Center for non-violent offenses. Youth participate in this program voluntarily.

This program encourages youth to care about their community, and make better choices by showing them their community cares for them.
