1. Why would you like to be a Youth Court member? (150 words) My interest in becoming a Youth Court member is because I want to contribute in some way to my community. My reason for wanting to be a Youth Court member is similar to my reason for wanting to be a lawyer, and someday a judge, when I grow up.
