Riverside Youth Court has been developed as a part of the
City of Riverside’s Juvenile Justice System. These are real cases, where
juveniles have admitted the misdemeanor offense, but have chosen to be
judged by their peers in determining the consequences.
Youth Court is open to all Riverside youth, ages 12-18. Youth Court
participants will learn about a respondent’s offense and will select a
suitable disposition that is designed to hold the youth accountable for
his/her actions and to encourage future compliance with the law.
As a youth court volunteer for the spring/summer session, you will be
committing to participate in the program for a 6-month period. Youth Court
is held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 5:30 – 8:30
p.m. A mandatory training for the winter/spring session will be held on
Saturday, February 25th, 2006, from 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at the Elks Lodge
located at 6166 Brockton. Volunteers will receive three hours of
community service for each youth court session they attend and 6 hours of
community service for the training. Please go to
www.riversideyouthcourt.com
and complete the application to reserve a seat at the training session.
Complete this application along with a parent’s signature and have it with
you the day of the training.
The Riverside Youth Court depends on volunteers. You can participate as a
juror, bailiff, court clerk and attorney. If you would like to be involved
in this exciting program, please submit your application by February 13th,
2006. We are certain you will find Youth Court an interesting and satisfying
experience.
