This pilot program was established to serve youth in the Twinbrook community that have committed misdemeanors or vandalism in the neighborhood. The Twinbrook Neighborhood Youth Panel consists of four citizen participants from the neighborhood. The City's Departments of Community Services and Public Safety have worked closely with the Department of Juvenile Justice on the program. The Department of Community Services worked to set the program up in the Twinbrook community and works with the juveniles on counseling issues after they have completed the program. The panel experienced a strong start this summer with two hearings held.
