The Youth Justice Committee involves trained community members who meet with victims, young people aged 12-17 accused of minor, non-violent offences, and their parents, to negotiate an appropriate way for the young person to make amends for their actions. All young people must agree to accept responsibility for their actions and to apologize to the victim.
This program is funded by the Ministry of the Attorney General.
