East Vincent resident Susan McLaren was presented with the Community Stewardship Award by the Center for Resolution on March 27 for her work with the Northern Chester County Youth Aid Panel.

The Northern Chester County Youth Aid Panel is an alternative program for first-time juvenile offenders in West Vincent, East Vincent, East Pikeland, Schuylkill and Spring City. The panel includes volunteers from the participating communities.

The panel meets on a regular basis to review juvenile cases referred to it by local police departments. The Center for Resolution oversees Youth Aid Panels in Chester and Delaware counties.
