As a Kerrville Teen Court Volunteer, I understand that the mission of the program is to offer youth offenders an alternative to the criminal justice system in settlement of Class C misdemeanor cases. It challenges youth to take responsibility for their actions through community service and teen court sentences. The offender’s peers take an active role in presentation of the case and deciding the proper sentence, while learning first-hand how the criminal justice system works. The two facets of the program provide young people a forum in which to develop interpersonal skills and build self-esteem that foster responsible behavior as a member of the community.
I have read and fully understand the Kerrville Teen Court Code of Conduct below and agree to follow the Code during my tenure as a Teen Court Volunteer. I understand violation of the Code of Conduct is grounds for termination as a volunteer.
