About YJC Volunteers
YJC community volunteers are a group of people in a variety of Alberta communities (a list of active YJCs is available on the Current YJC tab) who want to support youth in their community in turning a bad decision into a strength-based opportunity.
YJC community volunteers’ complete youth justice training, a Police Information Check, Alberta Child and Family Services Intervention Check and an Oath of Confidentiality.
YJC community volunteers’ meet with the youth and their adult support person to discuss the circumstances of the offence, school, homelife, special interests, consequences that have already been administered, and the parent’s concerns. With input from the youth and parents, YJC volunteers decide up to three (3) sanctions that must be fulfilled for the youth to be successful. Victims are encouraged to participate in this meeting.
