Support for our youth and their parents: a youth services two-fold approach
Separate from Hope Coalition's Recovery Community Center, which focuses on aiding adults in recovery, our youth service programs support youth in Middle and High school. These programs focus on recovery education and prevention while enhancing the youth's life skills.

Teen Court
Henderson County Teen Court is a diversionary court that keeps first and second-time juvenile offenders aged 11-17 and 18-19, out of the court system. The offenders who are willing to admit guilt are held accountable for their actions. A jury of the juvenile’s peers may assign the juvenile to counsel, restitution, curfews, community service, or other rehabilitative measures. Teen Court programs are proven to reduce recidivism rates of young people and to restore their relationship with the community.
- Every 4th Tuesday of the month
- Evidence-based system
- Led by youth
- A chance for youth to connect with peers
- Supporting ages 18 and under
