Teen Volunteers

What are the benefits of being a teen volunteer? 

• Make a difference in the lives of your peers and in the community.
• Help other teens learn from their mistakes.
• Ensure your peers get fair consequences.
• Learn how the legal system works.
• Get a head start on a career in law or law enforcement.
• Gain self-confidence and practice public speaking by becoming a Teen Court attorney.
• Fulfill your high school or college scholarship application community service requirements.
• Teen Court provides reference letters for scholarships, job applications, college applications, etc.

Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 can become volunteers.  Ideally, the program would like a one year commitment from each teen.  Volunteers need to be available for Teen Court nights (Tuesdays) from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.  New volunteers must attend a two hour training session.

If you are interested in being a volunteer, please call the office at 402-593-2207 or send an e-mail to Teen Court. Applications and training manuals can be downloaded here.
