WHY I volunteer
As we gathered around the table to speak with yet another troubled teen, I asked my fellow volunteers if they ever questioned the value of what we were doing. To a person, the answer was "Yes." But then we shared with each other what it is that keeps us coming back.
A couple of times a month, I volunteer for the Juvenile Probation Department in Maricopa County, Arizona, in a "diversion" program.
Several states have programs with the same basic purpose—to divert young folks charged with minor offenses from the juvenile court system back to their communities.
