Jace B
Recruitment Chair
Jace is the Recruitment Chair for the 2023-2024 year. He spends most of his time at work, when he's not at work he enjoys the outdoors, driving, and spending time with loved ones. "I love so much about Bothell Youth Court, but if I had to pick a couple things, I would start with how unique the program is. There are not many of them around, and many leaders in the fields similar are constantly learning or discovering youth court, and are almost always willing to help and grow the program. It is a beautiful way to give back, grow, and educate our community. My second observation is that BYC is a place for youth to discover themselves. Bothell Youth Court has so many members from several diverse backgrounds, and believe it or not, not everyone wants to be a lawyer or judge here! Some just come to learn, network, and be around peers that are of a similar mindset. When your surround yourself in an environment as such, it’s quite hard not to learn and work on yourself, especially when you are growing with others as well."

Tanya Bhandari
Recruitment Committee
Tanya Bhandari is a senior at North Creek High School and is looking forward to another incredible year serving at the Bothell Youth Court! You'll often find her flipping through some of her favorite classic novels, listening to '80s music, watching a political or legal TV show, and reading and writing poetry. It is one of her many passions to learn about and advocate for both our shared and individual stories. Tanya may often get lost in web pages and books, researching history and inspiring historical narratives, but she enjoys storytelling in that her roles as a two-term high school Student Body President and youth attorney and recruitment committee member at the Bothell Youth Court allow her to learn the stories of local students and amplify their voices. She stumbled across the Bothell Youth Court after driving by the building one day and deciding to sit in on a hearing. She was immediately inspired by the opportunities BYC gave students to advocate for each other and signed herself up as a member. Now several months in, she's proud to say joining BYC was one of the best decisions she's made. Tanya can't wait to welcome you to BYC.
