Review for Center For Youth Development Through Law, Berkeley, CA, USA
I actively participated in the Center For Youth Development Through Law during My Last year of high school. This program couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me, being an adolescent, not having many positive influences in my life, coming to this program gave me a sense of accomplishment that motivated me to go to college and actively plan to pursue a career in law. I had always been interested in such academic areas of study from a very young age, however I had not a single opportunity to include myself in such a program, where I can experience and be part of a professional environment. My internship, which I received through the Center of Youth Development Thorough Law was amazing and helped me to really get outside my comfort zone, working at a Congressional office was a challenging task that help me to grow as a person and develop professional skills I otherwise would have missed out on. In addition once I entered college, I stayed connected with the program and was able to have access to allot of resources that help me through my academic life. This program was a key factor in helping me stay away from a life of meritocracy and crime unfortunately like some of my friends. I now believe that being part of such an organization can really help youth stay away from a life of juvenile delinquency and build positive communities.
