Teen Court, Inc

Teen Court is a peer-driven diversion program designed for first-time juvenile offenders who have been arrested for misdemeanor offenses. Held every Thursday evening at the courthouse, the program empowers teen volunteers to serve as jurors, delivering appropriate sanctions to their peers in a real courtroom setting.

In addition to the court process, Teen Court provides over 1,000 students, including at-risk youth across the school system with 18 hours of education focused on critical life skills. These sessions cover faulty thinking, the dangers of substance abuse, conflict resolution, and anger management.

Our services are completely free for families, and we operate solely through the generous support of community donations.
