The Tennessee Youth Courts’ “Giving Day” is June 15. Tennessee Youth Courts supports youth courts across the state, which allow teen volunteers to decide sentencing for other teens who have admitted to committing low-level offenses. Volunteers learn about court procedures, sentencing options, trial techniques, structure of the justice system, the meaning of justice and relationships between rights and responsibilities. Donations to Tennessee Youth Courts go towards informing and educating young people about the role of law in our democracy and about their role as active citizens.
