ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS. The Draper Peer Court offers an alternative approach to juvenile justice in which youth referred for minor offenses are sentenced by a jury of their peers. Peer Court employs a restorative justice-based approach that applies the skills and abilities of Draper City juveniles to provide positive peer influence, to hold youth accountable for their actions, and to strengthen their ties to school and community.
Experience how the legal system and court rooms function! Volunteers ages 16-18 meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month. Volunteers review cases and collectively decided on proper consequences for their peers who have committed an offense.
I enjoyed bettering my peers and my community. -Phillip Hamel, Draper, Utah
