Teens Take the Courtroom

We are proud to support the incredible work of Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania, where teens recently participated in a six-week mock trial program with the Pittsburgh Legal Diversity & Inclusion Coalition (PLDIC). Through this experience, they learned courtroom procedures, critical thinking, and public speaking—skills that will serve them well in any career.

The program culminated in a real-life mock trial at the Allegheny County Courthouse, where teens showcased their skills before legal professionals and community members. For many, this was the first step toward futures in law, public service, and advocacy.

Kudos to Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania and PLDIC for making this opportunity possible! Programs like these help young people explore career pathways and gain valuable real-world experience.
