Finance Committee Volunteer wth the Edmonton Youth Justice Committee Society

Description of Charity/Foundation:

The Edmonton Youth Justice Committee Society works with youth between the ages of 12 and 17 who have been charged with a criminal offence. We are part of the extra judicial sanctions program provided through the province. We utilize a restorative justice circle process involving the youth, their primary supports, such as families or guardians and the victims or harmed persons should they choose to attend a circle. In this process youth learn to accept responsibility for their actions and through discussion arrive at sanctions ( assignments or actions) that the youth must complete to conclude their case. If they are successful, then their charges will be dropped or withdrawn.
