Youth Justice Committee

February 4th, 2009

York Region Youth Justice Committee

The Youth Justice Committee adjudicates hearings involving youth, families of the young person charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act and when possible the victims of youth crime. I’ve created a blog for our Committee so young people and parents/caregivers can have a quick and handy resource to learn more about what the Committee is, how it works and what to expect when appearing before the Committee. I am a founding member of the Youth Justice Committee. My volunteer work with the committee is very rewarding as I take great pride in representing the community at these hearings and bringing my experience in youth work to these highly charged restorative justice meetings.

I felt that having an online resource for young people, family members (or care givers) and for YJC volunteers would be a good way to inform others of our important community work and invite feedback from young people and family members about their experience of going through the YJC process. I decided to create this online resource. You can learn more about the York Region Youth Justice Committee by visiting the York Region Youth Justice Committee blog.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
