Pinal County Juvenile Court seeking volunteers -- orientation on January 7
Received article
Tuesday, January 3, 2012
Pinal county Juvenile Court is looking for volunteers who have a few hours to give back to at-risk youth. TALK is a mentoring program at the Pinal County Youth Justice Center that coordinates visits between community volunteers and detained youth at the Youth Justice Center. Many young people, for a variety of reasons, do not have visitors during their stay at the Youth Justice Center. This often leads to personal issues such as anger, depression, frustration, or school disruption.
TALK visits often include general conversation, goal setting, tutoring, or game playing. TALK was created by the Pinal County Juvenile Court Community Advisory Board as a way to bring the courts and community together to help our at-risk youth. Volunteers have the opportunity to give as little as two (2) hours a month for this special mentoring opportunity.
To find out more about the TALK Program and other volunteer opportunities at Juvenile Court, an orientation will be held on January 7, 2012 from 9:30-11:30 A.M. at the Youth Justice Center in Florence. Please contact Donna McBride at Pinal County Juvenile Court Services at (520) 866-4098 or by e-mail at DMcBride@Courts.az.gov to register for the orientation.
