Boys & Girls Club Of The Redwoods

Operated Teen Court program. The Teen Court program is open to all youth in grades 8 through 12. We are an innovative alternative for first-time juvenile offenders to be tried by a jury of their peers. Probation officers and schools refer youthful offenders to our program and the offenders join with the understanding that they are admitting guilt and teen court jurrors then decide upon a sentence. All court representitives are teen volunteers: the jury, lawyers, bailiff, clerk, and judge are all students. Offenders who successfully complete their teen court sentence have their records expunged and have the opportunity to serve as teen court jurors.
