The Warren County Courthouse is looking for Youth Volunteers (ages 14-18) for the Juvenile Conference Committee.
The Juvenile Conference Committees (JCCs) serve under the authority of the Family Division of Superior Court. A JCC is a six to nine member citizen volunteer panel appointed by the Family Division Judge. In a confidential setting, JCC panels hear and decide matters involving alleged juvenile offenders. The juvenile, parent(s) and or guardian(s) and complainant/victim are invited to discuss the offense and related matters with the Committee. The JCC considers the facts, and makes recommendations to the judge for a resolution that would aid in the juvenile's rehabilitation.
The program is designed to divert juveniles charged with first or second time minor offenses to their local JCC, which acts as a community-based arm of the Family Court. Program volunteers are required to complete mandatory program-specific training.
If interested log onto http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/volunteer/warren.html for an application. Applications can be submitted to the Training Coordinator, at Meredith.novkovic@njcourts.gov.
