The Northern Westchester Examiner–
Forty-four students from the Yorktown and Lakeland school districts graduated from Yorktown Youth Court last week.
The 2013 commencement ceremony was hosted by Alliance for Safe Kids (ASK), a non-profit organization that represents all sectors of the community working together to provide a safety net for youth and families.
Founded in 2007, the ASK Yorktown Youth Court is a program based on a national model developed by the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The Youth Court is a voluntary alternative to Family Court and the criminal justice system. It is organized and run by teens, adjudicating misdemeanor cases involving other teens with the goal of reducing juvenile delinquency.
