Who we are: Ketchikan Youth Court is a restorative juvenile justice program that has operated as a nonprofit since 2000. We serve first time juvenile offenders under the age of 18 who have committed misdemeanor crimes. Once the client completes our program, it is ultimately dismissed from their criminal record, giving them a second chance in life. 

How it works:

The class will run for nine consecutive Wednesdays (Approx 5:30pm-7pm) and the class ends with students sitting for the KYC Bar Examination and a swearing-in as new members of the Ketchikan Youth Cours. Members operate as judges, attorneys and clerks within a real courtroom environment and DONT do mock trials, REAL sentencing hearings on their juvenile peers who have gotten into legal trouble. 👨🏻‍⚖️👩🏻‍⚖️

Ages: 11-17 years old.

The Ketchikan Youth Court Board of Directors is pleased announce its selection of Austin Otos as the new KYC Executive Director. Austin began with youth court as a volunteer when he was in just 6th grade! He worked for KYC as a youth assistant while in high school, and stepped away from KYC long enough to get his Bachelor's Degree from UAA. Since returning to Ketchikan, he has worked with youth court as a youth coordinator. Youth Court is proud of its members and today is especially proud to have a chance to promote one of its own! Congrats, Austin!!

One of the most rewarding parts for adults involved in youth court is the opportunity to meet and work with fine young men like this guy. He’s a recent graduate of Kayhi, and will soon be off to college. He was one of this year’s very worthy KYC-sponsored Henry Keene Scholarship recipients, and is guaranteed to do great things! Congrats, Dametre!
