The grant, made available through the U.S. Department of Justice, will be given to the Autauga County Commission to continue the Teen Court program, in which nonviolent juvenile offenders are given sanctions by other teenagers and offered counseling and educational services.

The community-based intervention program also provides life-skills training and increases awareness of the legal system among teen offenders and student volunteers. It also provides the county and victims with a swift response to juvenile misdemeanors.
