The Restorative Justice Youth Court is an alternative to the traditional juvenile justice system. The Youth Court’s transformative power is derived from its non-adversarial, peer-to-peer restorative practices. Based on the principles of restorative justice Youth Court empowers youth to take an active role in addressing and supporting their peers when they have acknowledged accountability for breaking the law. The goal of restorative justice is to repair the harm done, the relationships impacted, and provide the young person with increased skills so they may reengage the community as a more reflective and wiser person.
