Almost Time! The Oath Awaits!

The date is approaching fast, and we are making preparations for a momentous occasion!

Join us on June 13, 2025, at 5 PM at the School District of Philadelphia for the Swearing-In Ceremony of Our Prospective Young Barristers.

This special event marks the official induction of our dedicated youth into the Philadelphia Community Youth Court (PCYC). As they take their solemn oath, they will pledge to uphold the values of fairness, justice, accountability, and service to their peers and their communities. These young barristers are stepping into a critical role, where they will contribute to a restorative justice system that empowers youth and strengthens our city.

The Philadelphia Community Youth Court operates with the belief that young people can be leaders in justice reform, agents of change, and advocates for second chances. Through this ceremony, we recognize the dedication and hard work of our youth as they prepare to take on cases, mediate conflicts, and promote rehabilitation rather than punishment. Their commitment to restorative justice is a powerful testament to the potential within our next generation.

We encourage families, friends, community leaders, educators, and supporters to join us in celebrating this pivotal moment. Your presence will reinforce the importance of youth-led justice and the impact that mentorship, guidance, and community support have on shaping future leaders.

This ceremony is not just an acknowledgment of the accomplishments of these young barristers—it is a call to action for all of us to continue advocating for fair and equitable opportunities for youth in Philadelphia. Let us stand together in support of those who will one day shape the legal and civic landscape of our city.

We look forward to celebrating with you on June 13, 2025, at 5 PM at the School District of Philadelphia!

It’s a moment to remember! Today, we witnessed the dedication, commitment, and promise of the next generation of youth leaders in justice. As they step into their roles, they carry the responsibility of advocacy, integrity, and community service.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this milestone. The journey doesn’t end here—this is just the beginning of their impact in transforming justice for youth in Philadelphia!
