CLARKSVILLE, TN − In recent months, Juvenile Court Director Edward Moss has actively engaged community partners by inviting them to attend Juvenile Court hearings. This initiative has provided valuable insight into the roles of Juvenile Court judges and the legal processes involved, allowing community partners to ask questions and deepen their understanding.
Thanks to the numerous programs and services available in the community, Juvenile Court has proudly established the first Youth Engagement Coalition (YEC) in Tennessee, based in Clarksville, Montgomery County. This groundbreaking coalition is set to make a significant impact in our community.
“The care, compassion, and dedication from the Youth Engagement Coalition/community partners are vital in the support of our families in Clarksville, Montgomery County. The coalition is a much-needed resource for our families and the Juvenile Justice Department. We will uphold the highest standards of care, create safer communities, and empower youth to lead productive lives,” said Juvenile Court Director Edward Moss.
Juvenile Court Resource Coordinator Teya Moore is committed to ensuring that every family entering Juvenile Court feels fully supported and has access to essential resources that address their unique challenges at home. The YEC community partners are ready to implement a comprehensive approach, effectively enhancing the lives of families involved with Juvenile Court. Their mission is to raise awareness, offer targeted education, and identify the vital services needed to empower families to achieve and sustain self-sufficiency.
“Montgomery County Juvenile Court is committed to uplifting families, addressing needs, and empowering our youth for a brighter future,” said Juvenile Resource Coordinator Teya Moore.
