BRBF Teen Court of Greater Baton Rouge program receives two new funding sources

The BRBF is pleased to announce that we have received a $10,000 grant from the Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation for our Teen Court of Greater Baton Rouge program. The Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation's mission is to enhance Louisiana's communities, and in particular the greater Baton Rouge area, by supporting philanthropic initiatives and programs that improve the lives of its citizens.

In keeping with the Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation, this project builds on human initiative and service. Both teen offenders and teen volunteers learn about due process, restorative justice and the benefits of volunteering to improve their community. Through Teen Court, a diverse group of legal and law enforcement professionals promote a positive image of the law and open the lines of communication.

On April 27, 2017 the 2016 LANO Community Leaders programs presented a $9,586 check to the BRBF Teen Court program. Young enthusiastic professionals who are inspired to serve their community in a leadership capacity are selected to participate in the yearly LANO Community Leaders program. As part of the program, each member is tasked with raising funds for the selected non-profit. The Teen Court of Greater Baton Rouge is thankful to be chosen as the 2016 Change Fund recipient.
