Teen Court is a restorative alternative to Juvenile Court. Juveniles ages 11-18 or or otherwise under jurisdiction of and referred by Juvenile Court Services are held accountable for their offense which redirects inappropriate behavior. The program gives youth an opportunity to serve their sentence, start fresh, and hopefully to not re-offend. This also allows youth, parents, peer and community members to have the opportunity to interact together in a more positive manner.
