How can juvenile offenders make amends?
Juvenile offenders are typically required to perform community service hours and participate in community-based programming. Offenders may be asked to volunteer for community events such as May Day and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Other options for making amends include attending MCRJ Street Law classes in which offenders have the opportunity to learn conflict negotiation and other skills, meeting with mentors or tutors, attending counseling sessions and, meeting with an employment counselor. MCRJ recently developed a partnership with The Link to provide Health Realization classes to MCRJ clients and volunteers.
