Youth Justice Committees

Youth Justice Committees are community-based groups that support young people involved in the justice system. Their role is to work with youth, families, and professionals to develop personalized plans that encourage positive behavior change and community reintegration. These committees aim to promote accountability, rehabilitation, and reduce reoffending by providing guidance, mentorship, and linking youth to local resources. They serve as an alternative to more formal judicial processes, fostering a supportive environment that emphasizes responsibility and growth, ultimately helping young people make better choices and become constructive members of society.
