Crawford County youth justice social worker presented state honor
Maura Garrity, Crawford County youth justice social worker, received the Wisconsin Juvenile Court Intake Association Recognition Award, Sept. 19, at the Kalahari Convention Center.
The board of directors for the Wisconsin Juvenile Court Intake Association realizes those who work in the challenging and ever-demanding system of juvenile court services often do so with little recognition for the outstanding service they provide to the agencies and communities in which they serve. With this in mind, the board of directors annually recognizes one of many outstanding WJCIA members, and this year’s recipient was Garrity.
Maura Garrity is a youth justice worker with the Crawford County Health and Human Services Family and Children’s Unit. She has been with the county for 23 years and is committed to doing all she can do for youth in the youth justice system, which is one of many reasons why she has earned this honor.
