About the NC Teen Court Association

What Is the NCTCA?

The North Carolina Teen Court Association, or NCTCA, is an organization comprised of representatives from the various local Teen Court programs throughout North Carolina. To join, dues of $75 per year must be paid by the local program. Paying these dues allows the individuals affiliated with the local program to become active members, although each local program only has one vote, regardless of how many members join. The funds raised from collecting the dues are used to manage the business matters of the organization.
