American Fork Youth Court offers an alternative approach to juvenile justice, providing a restorative justice-based program where minor offenders are sentenced by a jury of their peers, aiming to hold them accountable for their actions and strengthen their ties to school and community.
The program consists of court hearings conducted by trained youth volunteers, peer mentoring, and peer mediation, with sentencing options including community service, written reports, apology letters, referral to a juvenile facility, or restitution.
