West Eugene Teen Court – Youth Volunteer Opportunity
The West Eugene Teen Court is a City of Eugene Recreation Services program in which youth peers are authorized to conduct hearings for first-juvenile offenders. Youths admitting guilt to non-violent misdemeanors and violations may choose to have their consequences determined by other West Eugene youth and earn a recommendation for record expunction.
Volunteers age 12-17 are needed to serve on juries and act as members of the court. Participants must live or attend school in the Churchill High enrollment area. Teen Court service provides real-life experience in decision-making, law and helping fellow youths. For information please contact Program Supervisor Bruce Steinmetz at 682-6376 or bruce.h.steinmetz@ci.eugene.or.us
