The Shasta County Youth/Peer Court is recruiting volunteers between ages 12-18 to serve as jurors, jury forepersons, and youth attorneys in real juvenile court proceedings. Our next training is Feb. 4 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the US Bank building, 2nd floor, 1700 Pine St. Space is limited. Call 244-7194 to reserve a seat.
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 counts as volunteer service when filling out college, scholarship, or job applications.
For further information, please call Youth/Peer Court Coordinator at the Youth Violence Prevention Council at 244-7194.
