Description
We are seeking a volunteer to join our Youth Justice Committee. With the dedication of community volunteers, this program offers alternatives to the formal court process where community conferences bring together the youth and their support people to assist the youth in repairing the harm caused. Youth Justice Committee members represent the community and its' vicitms and together with the youth, sanctions are established to complete for the program. Needs of the victim, families, communities and youth are explored and taken into consideration. Sanctions may include such things as meeting with the victim, restitution, letters of apology, essays and attending special programs.
