The court is run by students <br />trained in the concept of restorative justice and adult attorneys acting as judges. The court conducts peer hearings to <br />recommend consequences for first-time juvenile offenders cited for non- <br />violent misdemeanors and violations. Youth volunteers develop skills in <br />decision-making, cooperation, public speaking, law and ethics while helping <br />their peers and improving the community. <br /> <br />One Teen Court volunteer, Alondra Duran, has invested over 300 hours with <br />the program since eighth grade. Now a high school senior, she is involved in <br />student leadership, community service and fundraising through her school. <br /> <br />Alondra represents the type of exceptional young leaders who participate in <br />Teen Court. She has demonstrated excellent leadership, working hard to <br />facilitate successful hearings for everyone involved. Alondra is often the <br />welcoming face with whom defendants’ families become comfortable. Recently, Alondra was selected to be featured as a <br />young community leader for the nationally televised show ¡Que Noche! on the Telemundo network. <br /> <br />For more information, please contact Billy Hernandez at 541-682-6376. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />April 7, 2016 <br />
