VOLUNTEER AT THE BRUCE NORMILE JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER

A volunteer is someone who provides his/her time without compensation or promise of reward. You can support, enhance, and make a difference in the lives of children by donating your time at BNJJC through volunteering.

BNJJC is a residence for juveniles ages 12 to 18 who are alleged to have committed a law violation. The adolescents remain in detention until the court hears their case or until appropriate alternative arrangements have been made. You can assist to these juveniles by helping them with homework, participating in recreational activities, watching over them, or simply being a friend.
