QATHET COMMUNITY JUSTICE SOCIETY

Purpose

The "Youth Restorative Action Project" will be a youth-led restorative justice initiative to address youth criminality. It will prioritize and focus on reintegration, diversion from court, and referrals to community supports including mental health, family counseling, and peer support circles. Through community based, cross-sectoral and youth-led approaches, the project also aims to decrease the overrepresentation of vulnerable youth in the criminal justice system, and develop and share knowledge, tools and resources with the community.
