Whether you are looking for an internship, a place to volunteer, or a future career opportunity; the Pierce County Juvenile Court is a great place to serve. I would recommend this opportunity to those who are interested in mentoring children (predominantly high school teens who struggle with authority), and to those who are interested in a career as a Juvenile Probation Officer in the future. This is a great environment, and everyone is understanding and friendly towards each other. This isn't a typical office internship, and there are many different opportunities available to interns/volunteers.

This program sounds like a good way to help the youth of Tacoma. The youth of Tacoma needs to be guided even though , they might have done some wrongs. This also helps the community help their people. It seems to me for the youth, they have seen and contributed to wrong so much, they forgot to see the light and know whats right...
