Grounded in restorative justice principles, Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) reduces sexual victimization by assisting people who have committed sexual offences to lead responsible, constructive, and accountable lives in their communities.
Participation in CoSA programs reduces the likelihood of reoffending, increases the likelihood of successful reintegration, and helps to keep communities safe.

Learn morePublic Safety Canada has granted Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) Canada funding for a two-year project exploring virtual circles.
The purpose of this project is three-fold: 1) to broaden the availability of Circles to Core Members who do not live in areas where in-person Circles are accessible, 2) to work with CoSA sites to shorten Circle wait-lists, and 3) to recruit, train and supervise new and under-utilized volunteers across the country.
