We are delighted to welcome Abigail Stevens Stone to The Mint House team as our new Training and Projects Officer.
Abigail brings a wealth of experience in building restorative communities and conducting community-based research on topics such as reintegration, recidivism, and environmental innovation. Originally from Bend, Oregon, she has spent 6 years working in peacebuilding, economic development, and community development in the USA, Brazil, and Bolivia before migrating to England.
Abigail has personally benefited from restorative practice and is passionate about providing the opportunity to experience restorative practice in the Oxford community.
In her role, Abigail will work to expand our training programme throughout Oxfordshire, while also working at the community level to help introduce restorative practice as part of the way of life here in Oxford. In addition to overseeing existing projects, she will be exploring new initiatives to further extend our impact.
When not at work, Abigail enjoys spending time outdoors, experimenting in the arts, and sharing good food around a large table.
