Teen Court

Vanderburgh County Teen Court is a diversion program within the local juvenile court system that offers young offenders a chance to participate in a restorative justice forum and to be addressed by a court of their peers. Teen volunteers from area high schools serve as defense attorneys, prosecuting attorneys, bailiff, judge assistant, and jury members. All youth involved in Teen Court gain valuable insight about the legal system and are given the opportunity to be a positive influence on their peers.

YR Day is a 24-hour online party and fundraising event for YR and the people who make YR possible (that’s you). Whether you’re a student, alumni, parent, volunteer or just a fan with a special place in your heart for YR - this celebration is for you!

YR’s mission is to inspire and develop our community of youth to a life dedicated to leadership, service, and civic engagement. Since 1987 we’ve worked with over 149,850 students and funded more than 3,310 service projects in 6 counties. Our alumni give, serve, and lead in education, healthcare, business, law, nonprofits, tech and more, using the skills they learned through YR’s programs.

Last year our students served over 8,000 hours with more than 100 local organizations, and they planned 63 service projects with their peers. They opened their hearts to the needs in our community and put their hands to work making a difference.
