Youth Justice Lab Program


Youth Justice Lab

The Youth Justice Lab is a cohort-based, collaborative, skill-building opportunity for youth aged 15-19 years old residing on the North Shore. 

Through this virtual 7-week program, we will create and deepen connections and explore complex questions,
including the following questions:
➔ How can we use restorative justice principles to meaningfully engage in
decolonization, truth, and Reconciliation?
➔ What does youth justice look like in our community?
➔ What is peer mediation and how can we use it in everyday life?

We are strategizing to ensure the presence of marginalized youth, who are often
under-represented or side-lined in these types of spaces. Additionally, we are bringing
in guest speakers from groups who are underrepresented in the non-profit community,
including non-binary people, Indigenous peoples, and people of color.

Throughout the Lab, youths will build useful life skills in mediation, teamwork, project
management, and networking. Furthermore, youth will hear from a variety of thought
leaders from civil society organizations and will develop independent projects to tackle
issues they care about. This program serves to build upon existing skills and
relationships, and hold space for youth to become their own advocates and leaders in
their communities. After the program, we hope participants will continue to nurture new
connections and become partners with NSRJS in creating youth justice spaces in our
communities.

Throughout the 7-week program, participants w ll…
★ Meet virtually for 6 sessions and 1 graduation ceremony,
★ Develop leadership, mediation, teamwork, and communication skills,
★ Connect to and learn from a wide range of community and thought leaders,
★ Lead independent projects to address social issues they care about,
★ Gain knowledge about restorative justice and its applications in various
situations,
★ Receive a diploma of completion at graduation,
★ Receive a $100 bursary for full attendance in all sessions,
★ Exercise planning a project with other youths, which will be presented to the
wider community at graduation.
