Nonprofit seeks juvie justice volunteer
The Texas Criminal Justice Coalition is looking for volunteer help on juvenile justice issues during the 81st Texas Legislature, so I wanted to pass on their request for an Austin-based "research assistant" in case any readers are interested:
If I already work in the juvenile justice system can I still volunteer.
ReplyDeleteThe state legislature might actually listen to me if I was an advocate and not a juvenile justice professional.
Ofcourse, the Sunset Commission seemed to not listen to anybody that testified down there at the public hearing on the TYC/TJPC merger recommendation.
Can't believe they still passed that recommendation from sunset staff after all that public input.
Just proves the fact that legislators don't listen to the public.
