Youth Court is a voluntary program which provides an effective alternative to prosecution by the Juvenile and Municipal Courts for juvenile first time offenders who commit minor offenses. Youth Court holds juvenile offenders responsible for their behavior, while recognizing that their consequences are a direct result of their poor decisions. Youth Court also provides opportunities for youth to experience the realism of the judicial process. Youth Court helps to establish and continue building relationships between the community and youth.
