Youth Court is a law-related educational program for volunteer youth in 7th-12th grades and an alternative to the criminal justice system for young people ages 10-18, who have committed a crime, offense, or violation. The goal of Youth Court is to intervene in early anti-social, delinquent, and criminal behavior; to reduce the incidence, and to prevent the escalation of such behavior by asking the offending youth to accept responsibility for their behavior before a jury of their peers. Youth Court strives to promote feelings of self-esteem, desire for self-improvement, increase knowledge and awareness of the law and the criminal justice system, and to foster a healthy attitude towards rules and authority.
