Boulder County Community Justice Services is looking for volunteers who want to make a difference in these juveniles’ lives. Volunteers help plan group activities, complete intake and accompany juveniles to court. Volunteers work closely with Probation, District Attorneys, Law Enforcement, the Courts and an experienced staff on behalf of the juveniles and the county’s Juvenile Center. Additionally, the program offers opportunities for volunteers to apply their own interests and skills to lead projects such as art, music, crafts or creative writing activities.
Seriously, I think this is a great program. I think lots of people should adopt juvenile offenders and help steer them to the right path. I hope this program gets some statistical support to prove that it works (my hunch is it will and it's a cost-effective intervention) and that it's repeated in other areas across the country.
With the success of the new MTV show "Juvies", I'm sure this program will really take off!

Man, all you need to do to get enrolled in a dope arts and crafts program is commit a crime. Brick + car window = creative fun.
