A YOUTH offending service is looking for volunteers to work with young people.

Essex Youth Offending Service is looking for help from the community to help prevent re-offending by young people aged between ten and 17 years.

The service is searching for those who can talk to young people, their parents and sometimes the victim of the offence to draw up a contract to address the young person’s offending behaviour.

The contract is designed to prevent young people from re-offending, but also looks to try to repair the harm caused which can benefit both the victim and the community.

If you are aged over 18, live in Essex and want more information contact Jodie Fenemer at jodie.fenemer@essex.gov.uk or ring on 03330139773.
