Tri-City Youth Court
What is a youth court?
Youth court is a diversion program in which youth are sentenced by their peers for minor crimes, offenses, and/or violations. Youth court diversion programs are intended to offer an alternative to the traditional juvenile justice system and school disciplinary proceedings. Typically, youth court offenders are first-time offenders between ages 11 and 17 who have been charged with misdemeanor or status offenses, with offenses including theft, vandalism, disorderly conduct, assault, and possession of marijuana.
Our youth court trains youth to act as judges, attorneys, clerks, and bailiffs in actual criminal cases. It does not determine guilt but takes youth who admit their mistakes and provides appropriate consequences to promptly hold them accountable for their actions.
Tri-City Youth Court serves Harrisville, North Ogden, and Pleasant View City.
