NATIONAL YOUTH COURT
MONTH IS APPROACHING
National Youth Court Month Action Kit
September 2004 is National Youth Court Month. It’s time to start
planning! This year’s theme is “Serving Communities, Changing Lives.”
The National Youth Court Month Action Kit is available online at
http://www.youthcourt.net/12-month_campaign/2004_YC_Month/2004ActionKit.pdf.
Active youth court programs will also receive a copy of the Action Kit
in the mail by mid July.
Youth Court
Success Stories
This year, the National Youth Court Center would like to collect and post an online compilation of success stories from youth courts across the country. If you have a story that illustrates the way that your youth court program is serving your community or changing lives of the young people it serves, we’d like to hear from you. To send us your story, complete the submission form found in the Action Kit or submit your story online at http://www.youthcourt.net/12-month_campaign/2004_YC_Month/Serving_Communities.htm Deadline for submissions is August 1, 2004.
Volunteer Hall of Honor
As we have done the past two years, the National Youth Court Center will post a Volunteer Hall of Honor on its website where youth courts can nominate two volunteers (one adult and one youth) to be recognized for the outstanding contribution they make to their local programs. Nominations must be made by a youth court coordinator. To nominate your volunteers, go to http://www.youthcourt.net/12-month_campaign/2004_YC_Month/hall_of_honor.htm or complete the nomination form found in the Action Kit. The deadline for nominations is August 1, 2004.

Court Month events on our website. So, let us know what you are
