Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On February 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the submission of a grant application for State California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program in an amount up to $1 million to re-establish the Teen Peer Court Program as the Restorative Youth Justice Court for Mendocino County.
Summary of Request:
On May 13, 2021 the Board of State and Community Corrections approved our grant submission in the amount of $866,484.00 to establish the Restorative Youth Justice Court (RYJC). The RYJC is a program run by teens for teens. The objective of the RYJC is to interrupt the developing pattern of criminal behavior in referred juveniles by promoting self-esteem, motivation for self-improvement, forming a healthy attitude toward authority, and increasing education. Mendocino County Probation will partner with The Arbor-Drug Free Communities Coalition (a division of Redwood Community Services, Inc.) and utilize grant funds to establish the RYJC. Using youth-driven, restorative approaches the RYJC will partner with high-risk youth and young adults to advocate for restorative practices in schools and law enforcement, providing trauma-informed alternatives to the juvenile justice system and school-based suspensions. Youth will participate in peer-to-peer support and mentorship activities to increase protective factors and independent living-skills. To ensure equity to access across the community, program services will be provided through a varied model of service, with both in-person and virtual activities.
This agreement will be funded entirely by Proposition 64 grant funds.
