Training to become a Youth Court Volunteer
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 February 23, 2008. 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 contact the Youth Court Coordinator at (951) 353-7683.
Please complete the application below to reserve a seat at the training session. Click here to download the PDF permission form. Complete the permission form, have your parent sign it, and bring it with you to court.
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 15, 2008. We are certain you
will find Youth Court an interesting and satisfying experience.
