Juvenile Court Intervention Prevention Program

C. Maria Macon

The Juvenile Court Intervention Prevention Program of the Mecklenburg Council of Elders aims to reduce juvenile incarceration by providing alternatives to incarceration through a community-based intervention program. Trained volunteers serve as juvenile advocates in delinquency court to provide equity in treatment, alternative methods of case management and disposition, and community resources in support of juveniles and their families.
