Youth Bureau Family Court Location
The Youth Bureau Juvenile Justice Program is located in Room 125 of the Family Court Building, at 1 Niagara Plaza Downtown Buffalo. Court services staff work to build a comprehensive Juvenile Justice strategy to best serve the needs of youth in their community.
The Youth Bureau Juvenile Justice Program is charged with working with JD, PINS, and other youth involved in the juvenile justice system and engaging in service planning with the youth and their families to maximize diversion efforts. Staff may also screen youth returned to Family Court on AWOL warrants for possible pre-court release.
Parents/guardians directed to this office will be provided with information regarding the youth’s referral for program participation, release from custody or further detention.
