Juvenile Court Book Club, Inc.

Juvenile Court Book Club, Inc. Juvenile Court Book Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes literacy among youth in San Diego's juvenile detention facilities.

JCBC brings volunteers into San Diego's juvenile detention centers for monthly book club meetings and tutoring. We work with these at-risk teens to develop their reading skills and encourage a love of reading that will help them as they pursue their education and enter the working world. We also coordinate author visits, book signings, visiting performers, speakers, film screenings, and field trip

s. The books the students read serve as a springboard for discussions of real-life challenges and experiences, and the teens bring great insight to every discussion. Our trained volunteer tutors work with students one-on-one at the Girls' Rehabilitation Facility, helping with all academic subjects, including English/Language Arts, reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary, basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, GED exam preparation, and California High School Exit Exam preparation. JCBC was founded in 1996 by Judge Maria Arroyo (Ret.), Juvenile Court Referee, with support and encouragement from Judge James Milliken (Ret.).
