  Background:

Colorado Springs Teen Court, Inc. was founded in 1994 by El Paso County Bar Auxiliary volunteers working in conjunction with the El Paso County Bar Association, District and Municipal Court Judges and School District 11 to address the impact of juvenile crime in the Pikes Peak region. It was the view of the organizers that since the traditional court system was able to devote only limited time to young, first-time offenders who failed to appreciate the harm their actions caused their victims, the community and themselves and would subsequently re-offend. The Teen Court model was developed to provide alternate sentencing options which deter future criminal behavior.
