Welcoming and Soothing
​
Youth Court is an alternative to traditional prosecution. A referring agency (School, Police, or Court) may decide a young person is a candidate for Youth Court and that referral agency will complete a consent form with the young person and their parent/guardian. The consent form authorizes the release of the incident report to the Youth court Staff. Once a complete referral packet (signed consent form, official report and any other supporting documentation) has been received, the Youth Court Staff will contact the family to set up a mandatory intake. At the intake appointment families will receive a copy of their hearing notice and all the information they will need to be successful at Youth Court.
