GREAT NEWS, YLS MEMBERS ... 🗣
The Ribault and Raines High School Future Lawyers & Leaders Program is back for another exciting year!
In a recent letter from United States District Judge Brian J. Davis, he highlighted the continued partnership between the YLS and D.W. Perkins Bar Association for providing this impactful mentoring program for local high school students.
The program connects students with attorney mentors throughout the school year and culminates in an end-of-year mock trial. Judge Davis noted that growing student participation has increased the need for volunteer mentors. Attorneys are asked to commit approximately four hours per month, either in person or virtually, to help guide and encourage students interested in the legal profession.
Volunteers consistently describe the experience as both meaningful and rewarding, often gaining as much from the program as the students they mentor.
If you're interested in making a difference in a student's future while helping develop the next generation of legal professionals, we encourage you to volunteer as a mentor at the link here: https://www.jaxbar.org/general/custom.asp?page=futurementors
