| Event: Teen Court - TEEN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED | Date: 7/21/08 - 7/21/09 | Location: South Side Community Center
Contact Name: Tiffany Hannah Email: thannah@cfrc.org
Details: Teen Court is in need of TEEN volunteers to help facilitate Teen Court. Teen Court is a diversion program designed for juvenile offenders to teach them about the justice system and the consequences of their actions before they become a part of the traditional justice system.
Teen Court is an actual sentencing hearing for 12-17 year olds who have already admitted guilt in the crime they committed.
Teen Court also provides a place for teens to volunteer. The Student Advisory Board (STAB) is made up of students from around the community that volunteer their time to play roles found in the traditional court system.
Teen Court’s Student Advisory Board (STAB) provides volunteers with education, training, and hands-on participation in the juvenile justice system. This experience enhances formal education in government, promotes respect for the law and encourages volunteering in the community.

Bailiff: maintains order in the courtroom, calls court to order, guards the jury
Clerk: Assists with sign-in process, calls cases, swears in offenders, reads Jury Findings Report
Jury foreperson: Leads deliberations, fills out the Jury Findings Report Form. Volunteers also serve on juries to constructively sentence the offenders and hold them accountable to the community for their actions.

Prosecuting attorney: Represents the state’s position against offender, presents evidence, questions witnesses**
**Requires additional training Teen Court is held at the South Side Community Center every Tuesday evening from 5:30pm to 7:30pm (with the exception of the first Tuesday of the month).
