School is out and it's time for youth to start serving!
I have been working with United Way to create a program to encourage youth to volunteer in the summer months. Youth will be invited to participate in group service projects and given a list of volunteer opportunity ideas at local agencies. They are also encouraged to find their own projects tutoring a child, organizing a food drive, helping an elderly neighbor, or organizing a project of their own.
Everyone who completes at least 10 hours of service by August 11th and writes a reflection about one of their projects will be invited to a celebration event!
If you know anyone who might be interested in participating, have them call United Way at 374-2588.
