The mission of the Lancaster County District Attorney's Youth Aid Panel is to seek accountability for the criminal conduct of juveniles through an alternative program that is restorative for the victims and community involved. By utilizing this program, first-time offenders are given a chance to change course and navigate their life to a path of success. Volunteers are needed for the Youth Aid Panel.

Training is mandatory for all new members and will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, May 2 to 30. All training sessions will take place at the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center, 101 Champ Blvd., Manheim.

To volunteer or obtain more details, contact Dena Maounis at dmaounis@co.lancaster.pa.us by Saturday, April 15.
