Youth Restorative Program Interest Form 2025
Thank you for your interest in the Youth Court Restorative Program (previously known as Trial by Peers) 2025! 

The Youth Court Restorative Program (YCRP) recruits students from ages 12-17 or students in 6th to 12th grade to serve as advocates for peers and community members. The free summer training will teach students about restorative justice practices and train them on how to become peer advocates. 

Youth Court Restorative Justice is based on three main principles:

  1. Accountability:  When youth that committed an offense/violation ('referred youth') accept their obligation to the individuals harmed and/or the community within which the offense occurred.
  2. Cooperation:  When the 'referred youth' and all those impacted by his/her offense, engage in a guided discussion about how the harm done can be repaired. The process of reaching a mutual agreement on appropriate consequences can help create fundamental changes in the relationship between the youth and their community. 
  3. Competency Development: Youth referred to the program are provided with the tools to develop empathy, resilience, and healthy coping mechanisms. This builds their decision-making skills, empowering them to become productive and responsible members of their communities.

How can you help?
The summer course prepares volunteers to become advocates in a teen court format or restorative justice circles. Once students successfully graduate from the summer course, they can volunteer up until their high school senior year in the following roles:

  1. Youth Advocate:  Youth advocates represent the referred youth’s interests. The youth advocate’s role is to ensure the referred youth is treated justly and fairly throughout the circle and to work with the other parties in the process to create a just agreement for the referred youth’s actions against the community.
  2. Community Advocate: Community advocates represent the community’s interests. The community may include the victim, the referred youth’s parents, student body or school administration, or any others affected by the referred youth’s actions. The community advocate’s role is to negotiate an just agreement to repair the harm occurred by the referred youth’s actions against the community.
