On
February 6, 2014, the Westwood College - South Bay Education Department and
Career Services joined Instructor Mark Rothenberg in honoring all the
SHORTSTOP’s volunteers and supporters in Long Beach. 
SHORTSTOP
is a Juvenile Crime Diversion Program aimed towards reducing delinquency among
at-risk youth. The program holds several sessions on Tuesday night at Long
Beach Courthouse where volunteer attorneys, legal professionals, and parolees
dramatically demonstrate the legal facts of life to the juvenile offenders as
well as to their parents. The sessions include experiencing life incarcerated
as well as sessions to better themselves. SHORTSTOP teaches its participants
the consequences of criminal behaviors, the value of freedom, how to resolve
conflict in a non-violent manner, and making positive decisions for a brighter
future.
Mark
Rothenberg is one of the founding father of the SHORTSTOP Program in Long
Beach. He had also served as the President of the program and is currently a
member of the Board of Director and a Volunteer Instructor for the SHORTSTOP
Program.
