UWSHARE\Teen Court\Brochures Last updated: April 2013 Oneida County Teen Court Coordinator 3375 Airport Rd # 10 Rhinelander, WI 54501 715-365-2750 What is Teen Court? Teen Court offers eligible youth an alternative to Juvenile Court— they receive sanctions from their peers. Why a Teen Court? Teen Court offers eligible youth an opportunity to take responsibility for their actions. It provides positive peer pressure with community-based consequences. Benefits of Teen Court? When Juvenile offenders successfully complete their Teen Court sanctions, they will have the offense removed from their record. This is a real second chance to prove that mistakes can be turned into positive choices. Parents are no longer held totally accountable. The juvenile becomes responsible for his/her actions. The community is able to see youth being held accountable for their actions. Volunteers are given a chance to make a difference in the lives of young people.
