DISCUSS TEEN VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES

Teen Attorney volunteer. The participant is eligible to apply for the upcoming Teen Court Scholarship
so the Board also discussed and agreed that the incident would not affect the teen volunteer's ability to
apply. Steven Cooper made a motion, seconded by Cindy Ward, that considering all the circumstances it
would be best for the teen volunteer not to be allowed to participate in Teen Court any longer. Steven
