ATLANTA - State Representative Becky Evans (D-Atlanta) and the DeKalb Juvenile Justice Council will host the Fourth Annual Youth Celebration fundraiser on Sunday, September 15, 2024, from 5 - 7 p.m. at the Lake House at Avondale Estates.
"I love participating in the Youth Celebration," said Rep. Evans. "I am always inspired by the stories of young people whose lives have been turned around thanks to the caring counselors and social workers, who hold their students accountable through the programs of the court. Whether it is getting a GED, a course in anger management, job training as a lifeguard or a culinary worker, playing midnight basketball, helping a youth's family with unexpected one-time expenses or being mentored or many of the other services provided by the court, the court workers find the right program to help the youth get back on the right track and keep them out of juvenile detention. Supporting the Juvenile Justice Council is an excellent investment in our youth, who are the future of DeKalb County."
Fox 5 Emmy Award winning reporter Aungelique Proctor will be the honorary chair and guest speaker, and producer, playwright and director Jeremy Cormier will return as the emcee of the event.
The DeKalb Juvenile Justice Council is a 501(c)(3) that serves youth and families throughout DeKalb County. At the Youth Celebration, they will celebrate the success stories of youth involved with the DeKalb Juvenile Court. For more information on the DeKalb Juvenile Justice Council, please click here.
