What is "Honors Project"?
What is "Honors Project"?
American Indian Recruitment (AIR) Programs offers University-level Honors courses in collaboration with UC San Diego (UCSD), San Diego State University (SDSU) and the Intertribal Court of Southern California (ICSC) for the development of training within restorative justice for Native Youth.
These trainings support Native Youth in understanding Restorative Justice ideals by applying knowledge within our Native Youth Peer Court, otherwise known as Tribal Youth Court. Here, Youth who have gone through the proper training series will participate in a jury of Native Youth Peer Decision Makers (or Peer Decision Makers/PDM) within the Native Youth Peer Court. This understanding will not only create greater Native Youth citizens, but more importantly assist their fellow Native Youth who have chosen path that may not be the best for themselves and their communities. Our Peer Jury will work with the Native Youth in developing a Tribal Wellness Plan to create greater opportunities in life and become a positive part of our communities.
