Restorative youth court offers options

Ukiah High School Sophomore Cat Karpov Kinrad and twenty other teens participate in the Restorative Justice Youth Council, a newly implemented program sponsored, in partnership, by Mendocino’s Juvenile Probation Office and the Arbor of Redwood Community Services. The Restorative Justice Youth Council is a youth driven program designed to repair the harm caused to all individuals in juvenile crime by encouraging open communication between justice-involved youths and victims, and holding conflicted youths accountable for their actions. It keeps kids out of the parole system and positively connects them to their communities.
