 Teen Court

Teen Court is a restorative justice program designed to give first-time teen offenders a second chance by allowing them to be judged by a jury of their peers. Rather than going through the traditional juvenile justice system, eligible teens participate in a court run by teen volunteers, where they take responsibility for their actions and agree to complete a set of constructive consequences, such as community service or counseling. This peer-driven process not only helps offenders avoid a criminal record but also promotes personal growth and accountability.

Teen volunteers gain valuable experience in the legal system, develop leadership skills, and positively impact their community by playing active roles as jurors, attorneys, and court officers. For the teen defendants, Teen Court offers a unique opportunity to learn from their mistakes, while for volunteers, it provides hands-on education and a sense of civic responsibility. Together, these efforts strengthen the community and empower young people to make better choices for their futures.
