Safety Note for Parents

DO NOT drop off or pick up your teens along 4th street. For safety reasons, the Sheriff’s Department and Teen Court are requesting that you drive INTO the circular drive to pick up and drop off for Teen Court. The jail is across the street with individuals being released at all hours. The Sheriff’s Department has insisted on us having parents use the circular drive. There is no one supervising your child outside of the courthouse.

Eligibility & Service Requirements

Teens in 8th to 12th grade are eligible to submit a Mecklenburg County Teen Court Volunteer Application. Following teen jury training we ask all teens to serve, at a minimum, six Teen Court nights within a year of being trained.

The MCTC Volunteer Application is currently CLOSED.  Applications will reopen on September 15. Please note that slots fill up quickly.
