Volunteer Opportunity
Teen Court
Tuesdays | 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Fort Worth Municipal Court
1000 Throckmorton St., Fort Worth, TX 76102
Teen Court is a voluntary program that allows teens to perform community service and jury duty in lieu of paying fines for citations received from the City of Fort Worth. Successful completion of Teen Court results in dismissal of the citation and a clean record. Participants plead their case before a teen jury, the members of which then determine the appropriate community service hours to be performed within a three-month period.
TCYLA is encouraging its members to sign up to volunteer. Teen Court is in need of volunteers with
experience or training in the judicial/legal field to assist with training teen attorneys and to preside as judges for Teen Court hearings.
Apply to volunteer here. For questions, please reach out to John Easter.
