Youth court volunteers wanted

The Shasta County Youth/Peer Court is recruiting volunteers between ages 13 and 18 to serve as jurors, jury forepersons, and youth attorneys in real juvenile court proceedings.

Volunteers will learn about the criminal justice and legal system, gain public speaking and presentation skills, work with other motivated teens, help restore justice to offenders and their victims and make a positive difference in the community. Plus, it looks good on a college, scholarship, or job applications.

The next training is Jan.22, from 5:30-8 p.m. at the U.S. Bank building, 2nd floor, 1700 Pine St.

Space is limited. To reserve a place, call 244-7194.
