Niagara Youth Justice Committee

The mission statement for Youth Justice Services is: to contribute to the creation of safe and vital communities through effective and innovative supervision of young persons in community and custodial settings.

The mission statement of PORT CARES, the lead agency responsible for administering the Niagara Youth Justice Committee is: a community organization whose aim is to facilitate efforts to improve the quality of life for the residents of Port Colborne and region by undertaking initiatives and by responding to the identified community needs.

Society, as a whole, has a role in prevention and a responsibility to address the developmental challenges and needs of young persons. Communities and families should work in partnership with government and other stakeholders to prevent youth crime by addressing underlying causes, responding to the needs of young persons and providing guidance and support.

Local communities have a responsibility to provide safe and accessible services and programs at all stages of child and youth development. The Niagara Youth Justice Committee is that service for the youth of the Niagara Region. The Niagara Youth Justice Committee actively seeks to hold youth accountable in an appropriate, timely and restorative manner.

Citizens interested in volunteering for the Niagara Youth Justice Committee are asked to contact PORT CARES at 905-834-3629 ext. 242.
