Masai Justice Program

Peer Jury implemented in collaboration with local schools, the juvenile court system and state’s attorney’s office. Students, acting as peer jurors, are trained to analyze the faces of a referred student’s case, ask questions, and decide upon appropriate consequences to school disciplinary issues. Students are connected with community resources to address root causes of their behavior and identify positive solutions. By allowing students to take leadership roles in every level of the process, including the development, planning, and implementation of the program, the juries redefine the role of youth in addressing students misconduct.
