Valdez Youth Court
Valdez Youth Court (VYC) was established in 1999 to offer an alternative to the traditional juvenile justice system for youth aged 12-17 who have committed a violation or misdemeanor. Through a restorative justice framework, trained youth volunteers conduct hearings to determine fair sentences that promote accountability, education, and community healing.
The organization aims to empower youth by providing opportunities for personal growth, professional development, and community service, fostering positive traits such as integrity and ethical decision-making. Valdez Youth Court is committed to treating all individuals with respect and does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, or sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity.
