Young Adult Court


Description:

The Young Adult Court (YAC) is a collaborative justice program for transitional aged youth (ages 18-25), many of whom have extensive histories of trauma from gun violence, homelessness, domestic violence and chronic unemployment. Many youth also have substance abuse issues and mental health disorders. The program began in July 2015 and is a partnership among the Superior Court; Office of the Public Defender; Office of the District Attorney; Adult Probation Department; Felton Institute; and Goodwill Industries. The aim is to strengthen young people by giving them the tools to end the cycle of incarceration and poverty.
