Toussaint Tingling-Clemmons
Advocate Judge/Jury Trainer

Toussaint L'Ouverture Tingling-Clemmons, a 19 year-old native Washingtonian, has worked with Youth Court for the last five years first as a volunteer juror, and as a participant on two Grand Juries sponsored by Youth Court. Currently he serves as an Advocate Judge and Jury Trainer. Named for the Haitian revolutionary, Toussaint L'Ouverture, he has made a name for himself as an activist and advocate for the people of his hometown in Washington D.C. Raised in a home where family time was spent going out and protesting injustices and leafleting for his father's political career, Toussaint has played an integral part in many grassroots organizations. He was appointed President of the National Capitol Coalition to Prevent Underaged Drinking (NCCPUD) in his senior year of high school. An accomplished speaker, Toussaint has given speeches on the steps of the Capital and countless other events. He is also the youngest American delegate to give a speech at the 2000 World Conference Against A & H Bombs in Japan.

In addition to his work with Youth Court, Toussaint is attending UD.C. and is majoring in Sociology. He plans to use his skills as an organizer to help better the quality of life for all people.
