Community Services/Restitution
The Seneca County Juvenile Court places a high priority on community service and restitution to victims of a juvenile’s wrongful actions. It is the Court’s duty to ensure that a child understands how his or her actions have impacted another. In so doing, the Court is able to utilize its Community Outreach Program to attempt to right their wrongs.
A youth, under the supervision of the Court’s Director of Community Outreach, will be required to complete community service hours. Also, under certain limited circumstances, if a victim has incurred monetary damages, a youth may be given the opportunity to repay the victim by participating in a Court-sponsored program wherein the youth can work off a limited dollar amount of restitution.
Some of the community service opportunities in which youth have participated in the past include, but are not limited to include:
- Trash Pickup
- Park Cleanup
- Court Vehicle Detailing
- Community Event Volunteering
- Miscellaneous Maintenance Projects
The goal of the Community Outreach Program is to instill and reinforce victim awareness and the importance of community service in all participating youth.
