Forge Evolution

Teen Court offers youth an alternative path to resolve and repair misdemeanor offenses. Forge Evolution is a Colorado Springs nonprofit, formerly Colorado Springs Teen Court, that provides community-based restorative justice programming for young people ages 10-18. Its programs also include preventative classes for youth who may be struggling or at risk of getting into trouble, along with individual therapy focused on coping skills and self-esteem. Youth referred by local schools and courts can participate in Teen Court and, after completing its requirements, have their charge expunged. The organization also offers year-long and summer volunteer opportunities for adults and youth. Established in 1994 by El Paso County Bar Auxiliary volunteers, Forge Evolution supports young people in building resiliency and making healthy life choices.
