Topic: Community Service Coordinator

Question: I would like to know if any of the teen courts have a community service coordinator staff person. If so, what is the job description? Do they work on teen court nights and do they work on weekends?

Hello!  In our Teen Court, the TC Coordinator is also the Community Service Coordinator.  We recruit an additional adult volunteer to oversee the Teen Court sessions while the Coordinator explains the contract and CS requirements after their case.  The CS Coordinator is responsible for setting up group weekend CS projects and client management.  Our program also handles Court-ordered juvenile community service, so we are also in charge of setting up projects for them.

We refer our youth court kids to a separate agency for community service called RESTORE. They have individual work sites and group projects set up 7 days a week. There is always a supervisor on when the youth are doing there community service. It might be the community service coordinator or a staff person from the work site. I am sure RESTORE would be happy to answer any of your questions and may be present a job description for you. They can be reached by calling Penny Dale (701) 239-0078.
