Calgary Youth Justice Society - Youth Justice Committees

The Youth Criminal Justice Act provides an opportunity for citizens to become directly involved in the administration of justice by forming Youth Justice Committees, providing a meaningful alternative to court for Calgary youth from 12-18 years of age involved in criminal activity of a less serious nature.

First-time offenders represent the largest population of young people who come into contact with our criminal justice system.

The program is tailor-made to each youth, has a high level of collaboration with the justice system and community partners, and retains long-serving volunteers who deliver a professional service.

Community volunteers work with young people, their families, victims, the legal system and the community in order to find appropriate, meaningful consequences for a young person who has committed a crime.

This is a proven, effective response to youth crime as they hold young people accountable for their actions while giving them an opportunity to turn their lives around.
