Veterans Needed for Volunteer Mentors Through New Treatment Court

A new Veterans Treatment Court will soon be available in Union County. As the program launches, local veterans are needed to volunteer as mentors to support veterans participating in the treatment-based program. It's an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of fellow service members.

The Veterans Treatment Court provides U.S. Armed Forces veterans facing criminal charges an alternative to traditional sentencing by focusing on treatment and recovery. A key component of the program is the mentor program, which pairs participants with veteran volunteers who share similar experiences and understand the unique challenges veterans face.

"Mentors provide the camaraderie, guidance and stability that many veterans once relied on while serving," said Hannah Legarsky, Veterans Treatment Court Coordinator. "Having someone who has walked a similar path can make all the difference in encouraging participants to stay committed to treatment and recovery."

Volunteer mentors serve as advocates, allies, and confidants. They help participants navigate the criminal justice process, connect with Veterans Affairs resources, and stay motivated to reach their goals.

Responsibilities of mentors include:
  • Connecting with their mentee on a weekly basis, either by phone or in person.
  • Providing an informal report to the Mentor Coordinator every two weeks before court.
  • Being reasonably available, which may include evenings and weekends.
  • Committing to at least one year of service as a mentor.
Veterans interested in volunteering can fill out this form or contact Hannah Legarsky, Veterans Treatment Court Coordinator, at Hannah.Legarsky@unioncountync.gov or 704-698-3229 for more information or to request an application.
