Tilyn Bell is a 1L Rubin-Presser Fellow interested in juvenile justice. Tilyn graduated in 2016 with a B.A. in Criminology from the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating, she interned with Young in Prison, a non-profit in Cape Town, South Africa that facilitates in-prison programs for incarcerated juveniles and helps them adjust during reentry. For the last two years, Tilyn worked at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office as a Program Coordinator for Youth Aid Panel, a community-based diversion program for first-time juvenile offenders. In that role, she worked directly with juveniles and families as a case manager, trained and oversaw community volunteers, trained Philadelphia police officers, and expunged juveniles’ records upon program completion. Since leaving the DA’s Office to attend Temple Law, she has stayed involved in the program as a community volunteer.
