Young Adult Court (YAC) Program

Young Adult Court (YAC) is a state-certified specialty treatment court program specifically for transitional aged young people (ages 18-25) that have been charged and/or convicted of felony level charges within Bernalillo County. Started in September 2017, the Program’s success relies on the strong stakeholder partnership between the Second Judicial District Court, the Law Offices of the Public Defender, the District Attorney’s Office, Bernalillo County, community providers, and local law enforcement agencies.

The program includes both pre and post plea tracks. The program serves individuals with all levels of risk and need, as assessed. The program duration typically ranges from 18-24 (credit earned) months. Time in the program is dependent on the severity of risk and need, level of participation and overall progression through the program.
