Guest Post by Greenpoint Youth Court
Our Greenpoint Youth Court program is coming along very nicely--we have a space at the Polish-Slavic Center and 20 or so kids about to complete their training. We should be ready to start hearing cases in late March.
The Youth Court is a new youth development program that empowers teenagers in the Greenpoint & Williamsburg area to assign alternative sanctions to their peers who have committed minor infractions such as jumping the turnstiles, fighting and writing graffiti.
The Youth Court is currently in search of local artists willing to donate time to design and build a courtroom set for the program. An honorarium may be possible.
Please contact Eleanor Anderson at eanderson -at- crownheights -dot- org or 646-460-1764 if you are interested or for more information.
The program is expected to be up and running in late March. More updates to come!
