Volunteer Training - Youth Justice Committee (YJC)

Join The Youth Justice Committee!

The YJC Program operates based on a restorative justice conferencing model to bring community volunteers together with young persons in conflict with the law, their parent/ guardian(s), and victim(s) to negotiate a way to make amends in the form of agreed-upon sanctions for the harm caused by an offence.

Interested in Restorative Justice?

Restorative Justice provides an opportunity to address the impacts of harm caused while holding the person accountable in a meaningful way for the victim, the community and the offender. Instead of defining crime as breaking the law, Restorative Justice defines crime as harm to people. Instead of responding to this breach with punishment, a Restorative Justice response is focused on making things right. People are the victims, not the state
