The Department of Volunteer Services Philosophy is to develop and increase volunteer opportunities which enrich our young offenders. The program is established to encourage a lifetime of volunteer commitment to service.
The DJJ Volunteer Services Program Mission is to recruit, retain, and promote volunteers who are dedicated to providing an array of services to DJJ youth. The volunteers will help motivate and empower our youth to become productive and law abiding citizens in their communities.
Life's most persistent and urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'
