Township Selects Max Rosen As Peer Jury Scholar 2020

Max Rosen of Glencoe has been selected to receive New Trier Township's Peer Jury Scholarship Award for 2020. The $1,500 prize will be used toward his education at George Washington University in Washington D.C. where he begins freshman year this fall.

Community Services Director Brian Leverenz said, "His essay was outstanding, but Max's leadership, attendance and thoughtful participation as a juror put him over the top against other candidates."

Created in 1998, the township's Peer Jury program provides an opportunity for first-time, (non-violent) offenders to face a jury of his/her peers. The jury hears the charges presented by a police officer, and the jurors, under the supervision of the Peer Jury Coordinator agrees on an appropriate sentence - usually a number of hours of community service and sometimes a written paper or an apology.

The Peer Jury Scholarship is normally presented at the Township’s Annual Town Meeting, which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For more information on the township’s Peer Jury Program, please phone Brian Leverenz, Community Service Administrator at (847) 446-8203 or visit NewTrierTownship.com.
