Lauretta Avina is a Facilitator as well as a Volunteer Victim Speaker with Santa Clara County Juvenile Probation-Victim Services. Lauretta Facilitates court mandated victim awareness classes to minors that are on some sort of probation such as deferred entry of judgment or restorative justice probation, as well as those minors that are currently housed at James Ranch in Morgan Hill,  a locked facility for the more serious minor offenders. Their goal is to help bring more awareness of the impact that minor offenders’ crimes have had on their victims and hopefully help these minors achieve a higher level of empathy as well as to help guide them towards the steps of positive behavioral changes. Lauretta will explain the dynamics and modules of their classes as well as the philosophy behind the classes.
