Summer Youth Mentoring Program The Wooten Law Firm, LLC is pleased to announce our summer youth mentoring program for high school males in the Selma-Dallas County area. The program is being facilitated as a career pathway to introduce area youth to law and policy-related professions while preparing students to be responsible citizens and community leaders. Our goal is to create a culture of success through mentorship by giving male students a positive role model, along with some general on the job training. • Provide information on possible law-related careers. • Learn about the functions of the legal system, roles and responsibilities. • Develop a heightened respect for the law and recognize the impact of law on their lives. Our 3-week program requires students to report 2 days per week and will emphasize the following areas: • Firm Operations: Students will gain exposure to various careers (i.e. attorney, paralegal, administrative, finance, and clerical) within the firm and observe the inner-workings of a law office. Students will also be allowed to perform basic office duties. • Networking & Communication: Students will have opportunities to meet with legal professionals during lunch and one-on-one chat sessions. Students are encouraged to ask questions about legal career tracks. • Courtroom & Detention System: Students will be allowed to observe court proceedings and participate in visits to the county jail upon approval. This will be valuable experience as students will receive introductions to local judges, district attorneys, and other court/jail personnel. Our requirements include: • Male students – Grades 9-12 (enrolled in the city or county school system) • 2.0 Grade Point Average • Completed Application • Interview This is an important civic commitment by the Wooten Law Firm, LLC to the youth of our county.
