“If we have robust youth courts in schools, we will greatly reduce that school-to-prison pipeline,” said Gregg Volz, the director of the Youth Court Support Center at EducationWorks, a Philadelphia nonprofit that provides programs for poorer communities.
Nationally, about two-thirds of the courts tie into the local juvenile justice system, he said.
Volz has trained 40 groups to conduct youth courts in Philadelphia, Camden, Norristown, Chester, and Wilmington.
