On the panel, volunteer community members help youth deal with underage drinking, curfew violations, graffiti, etc. and help youth stay out of the criminal justice system The youth must admit involvement in the offense and agree to participate in the panel process. After receiving a referral from the police department, the Youth Aid Panel meets with the youth and the family. Typically, a youth will sign a contract to do community service in the neighborhood, make restitution, or complete an educational project
