Would you like to personally have a hand in positive change? Do you want to make a significant impact in the life of a young person? If so, the Department of Juvenile Justice has a wonderful volunteer opportunity for you! Positive role models are needed to provide mentoring to young people behind the fence at DJJ. If you are a caring adult who is willing to show youth that positive change is possible, that young people are more than the mistakes of their past, please respond! Mentors spend one hour a week with their mentee playing cards, games, or just talking and hanging out one-on-one. Be appreciated, make a difference in the life of a child, be a DJJ mentor!
