Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing infant deaths by providing resources and education to pregnant women, parents and their families. We are launching a new program, Helping Hands for Healthy Babies, aimed at raising awareness for our organization and helping us raise funds to continue to support families in our County. There are many easy ways that students can be involved and earn community service hours: A drive for baby clothes, blankets, toys, books, maternity clothes, gift cards to Publix or other major retailers like Wal-Mart, with event support, by helping in securing auction items for our 2010 Mothers Day Luncheon or by selling cupcakes cutouts. Please visit our website and if you are interested in supporting our cause and the families in our community contact Melissa Santos for more information!

Volunteers are needed to act as jurors, clerks, and attorneys in Youth Court, a nationwide program run locally to help unclog the court system.  Juveniles charged with misdemeanors or minor felonies waive their right to be tried in traditional court and are tried in youth court in return for a clean record upon completion of probation (or whatever sentence the court imposes).  The recidivism rate, or rate of re-arrest, in youth court is 4-5% versus the 28-34% rate of traditional court.  Recently the Youth Court Program was expanded to include the Teen Drug Court function as well. Youth Court is held in four locations throughout the county, including Delray Beach Courthouse at 200 West Atlantic Ave where trials take place every Thursday evening beginning at 5:30 p.m. Other locations include West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and Belle Glade. Parents are welcome to watch their children in action, but all proceedings must remain confidential.  Attorney training takes place in September; student volunteers will be coached by pro bono lawyers.  Great for students interested in a law career.

Volunteers are needed to help provide quality service with compassion and quality care. Volunteers will be information desk attendants, patient transporters, and provide medial records support and food service support. Minimum age is 14 years old
