Peer jury
Trained youth jurors ask about the young person's background, family, and the incident over 2–3 rounds of questioning, then use what they learn to decide a fair agreement.
Volunteer · Youth & adults
Serve on the court that changes lives.
No experience needed. Young people lead the hearings, and adults supervise them. We'll train you.
Who's in the courtroom
A seat for every voice

Introduces the young person's situation in a brief opening statement, supports them throughout the hearing, and recommends an agreement in closing.

Leads and structures the hearing, guides discussion between the jury, the young person, and the advocate, keeps questions respectful and relevant, and explains to the jury how the agreement is decided.
Adult facilitator
Supervises the entire hearing to keep it safe, appropriate, and consistent, stepping in only when needed so young people can lead.
