Vermilion Parish teens needed to help with Teen Court
The newly created Vermilion Parish Teen Court is looking for teens to help make teen court a success.
Juvenile detention centers are overcrowded, suffer a lack of funding, and create a disparity between holding young adults accountable or maintaining a sustainable youth justice system. Enter smaller, adaptable avenues of justice.
Youth justice programs like Teen Court have become a new approach to addressing minor juvenile offenses. Justice for teens, by teens.
Vermilion Parish is in search of teens (grades 9th through 12th) to run teen court work in the parish.
