"I love Teen Court. It think it is beneficial to not only the offenders, but for jurors as well. Offenders are given a chance to start over and learn from their mistakes. Jurors are able to help others restore the damage and become a more beneficial member of society. My favorite part is seeing graduations. You see people grow and learn and move on to a better, more successful future. Teen Court is worth every minute I put in. " -Peer Juror

"My favorite part of the program is being able to see the changes in people before and after they carry out their sentences. It really shows people can change is they try and really work to be a better person. Seeing the defendant give their side of the story on the stand allows us to see the real emotions as they recount the story of what happened. " -Peer Juror

"In the beginning today (I 1-12-16) there was one graduate in particular who seemed like he truly had a positive experience. Many people were praising him, his writing ability, and how he changed his life around. It seem that this program really helped as he provided positive feedback for the kids. It's nice to see a program that works and helps kids come back from their mistakes." -Peer Juror
