Volunteers will get experience as a peer juror, work with and help teens from all over Columbia County, learn about the legal system, and get to know local judges. They will have opportunities to take part in social activities with other Teen Court Volunteers and youth offenders, and take part in community service activities (i.e., Highway Clean-up, etc.) which can fulfill community service requirements for other organizations (i.e., National Honor Society, etc.) that they take part in.
