Description
The Volunteer Courthouse Ambassador Program enables members of the community to become actively involved in their judicial branch of government while assisting the public and judicial system by serving as administrative, informational, and educational liaisons between the courts and the community. Volunteer Courthouse Ambassadors are the first persons our visitors meet. They greet our visitors and provide directions to offices or departments throughout the Circuit.
