Parker's Teen Court program has been an incredible opportunity for youth to become involved in the judicial process. The program, which involves REAL defendants and REAL cases, is community-based and designed to be a positive experience for first-time juvenile offenders as well as Court participants. During the month of September, the Parker Teen Court will join 100,000 youth across the nation who volunteer in the more than 1,035 youth courts in 48 states and the District of Columbia in the 4th annual celebration of National Youth Court Month.
This year, youth and adult volunteers in our community have committed more than 277 hours of service to the Parker Teen Court. Our program also has been a positive force in the lives of more than 20 youth participants this year, by providing them with a second chance while holding them accountable for their behavior.
The Parker Teen Court will participate in National Youth Court Month this year by holding an open house and mock trial on Thursday, Sept. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Town Hall, located at 20120 E. Mainstreet. We invite everyone in the Parker community to attend and help us spread the word about this powerful community program.
