Teen+Court+Association

The Association will endeavor to involve the Association leadership, state government leadership, and local representation to provide knowledge and resources to allow the Association to do this effectively.

The Department is instrumental in providing guidelines for Teen Court programs in North Carolina.

The ultimate goal is to assure that North Carolina�s local Teen Court programs operate under the policies set forth by the Department of Juvenile Justice, establish and measure outcomes for their programs, and provide quality programming for both the juvenile offenders served and the teen volunteers involved in service to the local programs.

The North Carolina Teen Court Association will work in partnership with the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to encourage adherence to the Standards set forth by that Department for Teen Court programs across the state. Well managed, quality Teen Court programs will be a major factor in allowing The Association to move forth in striving to achieve its Mission and Vision.
