Volunteers in Probation have the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a variety of functions, and play an important role in supporting the work of probation officers, from serving as mentors to supporting youth and families who need guidance in the community. They may work in conjunction with Probation Officers in the office, writing memos to the court, handling data input and interviewing victims and
defendants. They may coordinate recreational activities or community service projects such as graffiti abatement, or conduct programs in anger management or life skills. They might check on school attendance, help with clerical duties, and provide translation for non-English speaking probationers or family members. Or they may help at the Juvenile Detention and Assessment Centers with Probation Correction Officers by facilitating NA/AA groups, mentoring minors, providing tutoring or teaching young people skills and leading other activities under staff supervision. They may also serve as guest speakers conducting presentations on peer pressure, anger management, gangs, and drug abuse.
