What does YJP mean in LAW & LEGAL

The Youth Justice Program (YJP) is a program created to address juvenile offenders in a constructive way. It seeks to hold them accountable for their actions while directing them towards better behavior and providing guidance and rehabilitation

YJP provides many different resources such as counseling, educational programming, mentoring, job training, substance abuse treatment, diversion programs, and more aimed at helping young people grow up to be successful and responsible members of the community

YJP works with youth who are involved with or are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system. This includes those facing charges or have had contact with law enforcement

Parents can support their child through actively engaging in activities that promote positive behavior in addition to keeping communication lines open between parent/guardian and child. This includes showing an interest in what they are doing both inside and outside of school

Many jurisdictions have assistance available for families who are unable to cover costs associated with YJP services. Resources may include government grants or private donor funds which can help cover expenses related to counseling or other necessary program components
