Metroport Teen Court
Metroport Teen Court is a volunteer program which allows juvenile misdemeanor offenders an alternative to the criminal justice system while allowing them to assume responsibility for
their own actions by involvement in the judicial process and completion of community service hours.
Completion of their obligations will allow their offenses to not be recorded.

The community benefits from this interaction in that, through Teen Court, the community is afforded a unique opportunity to become involved in the education of juvenile offenders.
