You are cordially invited to
serve as a Justice for Juniors Volunteer Tutor at the DC Juvenile Jail year
round on Mondays, 6:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.; and on Sundays, 3:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m. at the UMD Hillel, 7612 Mowat Lane. There will be a tutoring closing session this Sunday, December 13 at 2:45PM that interested/new volunteers are encouraged to attend. The closing session will take place at the UMD Hillel.
Justice for Juniors is an
interfaith social justice juvenile recidivism reduction endeavor involving
students from GW, Catholic University and UMD who mentor and tutor detained
juveniles throughout the year. A Juvenile Justice Forum is scheduled at
UMD each fall and at GW each spring. These forums exam juvenile justice police
and practices and have been co-sponsored by the US Justice Department, the DC
Superior Court, the Prince George's County Police Department and the State
Attorney's Offices and local churches.
This fall volunteers tutored
30 juveniles referred by the Juvenile Justice System. Justice for Juniors is seeking 50 UMD volunteers to
serve as tutors, mentors and to coordinate the spring juvenile justice forum. An
unpaid internship is available. If you are available, you may contact
Chaplain Johnson at Jsiafa@gmail.com to
set up an orientation schedule.
