MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is a non-profit with the primary mission of ending all forms of impaired driving, prevention education for underage drinking & drug use and supporting victims. MADD is currently recruiting volunteers for their Court Monitoring Program, grant funded by IDOT, which involves observing the adjudication process of misdemeanor DUI cases and compiling relevant data. This information can be used to evaluate how certain jurisdictions are processing and enforcing DUI laws. MADD shares the information with law enforcement, judges, prosecutors, and public defenders to enhance transparency and reduce the likelihood of repeat DUI offenses. Volunteering for this program is a great way for students gain insight and real-world experience into the Criminal Justice System. Volunteers are needed in Peoria, McLean, Tazewell and Livingston Counties. Remote volunteer options are also available for special projects. For more information, contact Terri Klein @ Terri.Klein@madd.org.
