Volunteer now!

The program's mission is to increase juvenile offender's options for successful re-entry to their community from the juvenile institution by pairing them with a caring adult.

The Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration is a mentoring program for incarcerated youth living in King, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Island County. Our goal is to increase juvenile offenders options and to give support for successful re-entry to their community from the juvenile institutions by matching the youth with a community volunteer mentor.

The mentor helps the youth set goals, empowers the youth to help recognize his/her individual talents and offers guidance and support to help the youth lead a drug and crime free lifestyle.

The mentor is asked to meet with the youth at least once a month while he or she is still in the institution. Once the youth is back in the community, the mentor meets with the youth at least once a week.

The mentors are asked to attend an initial training and bi-monthly seminars. The training and seminars are designed to help the mentor broaden their options and knowledge when working with their assigned mentee. Call today to schedule your training.
