As part of the Juvenile Review Board, our primary goal is to assist young individuals in staying on the right path and improving their lives. It’s not uncommon for teenagers and young adults who have run afoul of the law to have a complex background and face significant social and clinical challenges. In addition, many families lack knowledge regarding juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, and drug abuse. Providing education and guidance to young people is one of the most effective ways to create a brighter future for everyone involved.
The Marian Work Study Corporation offers a unique chance for chosen students to participate in an internship program with a corporate mentor in New Haven and Fairfield counties. This program allows students to acquire valuable professional experience while still attending school. By taking part in the program, they can earn one academic credit. The students are evaluated twice a year, providing the necessary feedback to continue their growth and progress in their academic and professional endeavors.
Our utmost priority is to provide comprehensive information to our community regarding the various legal options for tackling challenging situations. We believe in fostering a deep understanding of complex topics such as gun laws, insurance policies, substance abuse, and mental health issues. Our commitment to sharing information is unwavering, and we strive to empower individuals with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions.
