Volunteer Law Program FacilitatorAt — Fresh Lifelines for Youth (FLY)

Organization Name FLY (Fresh Lifelines for Youth)

Opportunity/Position Title Volunteer Law Program Facilitator

Position Summary/Description (please incl. days/hours)

In the FLY Law Program, our highly trained volunteers teach a fun, interactive 8- to 12-week course using our nationally recognized law-related education curriculum. The curriculum covers relevant topics such as police encounters, accomplice liability, three strikes, theft, vandalism, drugs, gangs, and police arrests. The curriculum is interesting and engaging to the youth, and is an excellent vehicle for us to teach critical life skills like anger management, problem solving, conflict resolution, and resisting negative peer pressure.

Everything is taught in a non-judgmental manner with no stigma is attached, which makes the youth more willing to learn. Mid-way through the semester, youth take a field trip to a local university law school where they tour the campus and act out a mock trial in the moot courtroom. The classes are taught in high schools, community centers, juvenile halls, and juvenile camps and ranches in Alameda and Contra Costa County.
