The Vision.
▪ Grow the availability and accessibility of juvenile court programs for specialty needs.
▪ Develop wraparound services to better support youth and their families in the community. ▪ Partner with more city and community agencies to identify new collaborations that enhance youth success in and outside the court system processes. |
“I plan to continue the work I have accomplished in finding new ways to help juveniles and their families.
I have seen firsthand the help that juveniles have received in specialty courts and how those critical services made a huge difference to their families as well. And I know that wraparound services can make a huge difference for both generations, so we must find more ways to expand and continue those benefits. Vertical Divider

In order to accomplish those goals, I would like to identify additional community partners that can offer the mental health, substance abuse and employment services for both juveniles and their families.
Drawing upon my experience and supportive local relationships, I believe that I can best represent our area youth’s needs and affect real change by serving as your next justice in the 289th Juvenile District Court of San Antonio.” Thank you for your vote! ~ Rose Sosa for Judge |
