A bit about what I will be doing: As part of AVODAH, I will be working at a non-profit in New Orleans called Juvenile Regional Services. JRS provides comprehensive legal services to indigent children and youth accused of delinquency in New Orleans.  As a youth advocate, I will work directly with youth in the juvenile justice system who are on probation and parole, connecting them to educational, vocational, and/or medical programs, advocating for services on their behalf, and providing guidance and support. I am very excited to be working with JRS next year. For more information about the organization, please visit their website http://www.jrsla.org or contact me!
