Yonkers Youth Court

Yonkers Youth Court

Welcome to the Yonkers Youth Court, a vital component of our local justice system dedicated to empowering young individuals and fostering a sense of responsibility within the community. Located at 127 North Broadway, Yonkers, New York 10701, our facility serves as both a courthouse and a local government office, uniquely focused on addressing the needs and challenges of youth in our area.

At Yonkers Youth Court, we provide an alternative approach to traditional juvenile justice by involving trained youth volunteers in the judicial process. Our innovative program allows young people to take on roles such as jurors, judges, and attorneys, offering their peers a chance to learn from their mistakes and make positive changes. Through this peer-led system, we aim to educate and rehabilitate rather than punish, helping to reduce recidivism and promote civic engagement.

Our mission is to create a supportive environment where youth can develop leadership skills, gain a deeper understanding of the legal system, and contribute to the well-being of our community. We collaborate with local schools, law enforcement, and community organizations to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach to youth justice.

Whether you are a young person interested in participating, a parent seeking guidance, or a community member looking to support our efforts, we invite you to learn more about Yonkers Youth Court and join us in making a positive impact. For more information, please contact us or visit our office at 127 North Broadway. Together, we can build a brighter future for the youth of Yonkers.
