Meet Our Team
Alannah Tomich | Executive Director
Alannah Tomich is the Executive Director of the Yolo Conflict Resolution Center, a community-based Restorative Justice organization, working to institute a conflict-resolution paradigm of understanding, accountability and repair.
Alannah Tomich has been with YCRC since 2021. First as Youth and Family Case Manager, then Mediation Program Coordinator and now as Executive Director. Alannah holds a Master’s Certificate in Restorative Practices and Youth Counseling from the International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP), and a Bachelor’s degree in Public Health from UC Berkeley.
Alannah began her training as a mediator nearly a decade ago with a victim-offender reconciliation program. Her work in community approaches to conflict spans many settings: from implementing restorative practices in high school classrooms, to serving on the conflict-transformation team at an intentional community, called Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. Alannah is also a graduate of Davis High, a yoga teacher and mother to a toddler.
Alannah believes all our interactions result from underlying universal human needs, and that the practice of seeing each other through that lens has the power to transform conflict and relationships.
