Show Notes

McKay Sawyer, a sophomore at Taylorsville High School, graduated from Utah State Universitys peer-to-peer youth court program after facing a disorderly conduct charge. This innovative program, which targets teens with minor law violations, allows them to appear before a panel of student volunteers instead of juvenile court. Sawyers journey from nervous participant to volunteer and basketball team member showcases the programs success in building accountability, boosting self-esteem, and fostering community ties.
