COLORADO SPRINGS TEEN COURT

Members of the Xi Pi Chapter provides mentors and life skills facilitators for Colorado Springs Teen Court. Teen Court is a unique and highly successful approach to juvenile crime. In Colorado Springs, this independent non-profit program provides an alternative to the regular Municipal Court sentencing for first-time misdemeanor offenses committed by young people between 10 and 18 years of age. The purpose of Teen Court is to hold youth offenders accountable for their actions and assist them in making better life choices through relevant sentencing options. The theme of this initiative is “Empowering Our Youth Through Restorative Justice for a Brighter Future.” The Uplift Foundation provides an annual grant to support the ongoing services provided by Colorado Springs Teen Court.
