Be a part of the community this year and have fun helping others by becoming a part of the Community Connections Program.  This exciting volunteer program is available to all students between the ages of 12 to 18.  Although this program is voluntary, you the student, will benefit by being involved.  You will experience personal growth, have more to add to your resumes, scholarship and college applications, and a volunteer experience may turn into a paying job at a later date.

 

This program is designed to help connect the student with the community by participating in volunteer activities within the community.  The program runs from 2:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. There is no cost to participate. The program is strictly on a volunteer basis.  The student will not be punished or dismissed from the program for not participating daily.

 

Activities may include performing various tasks with the elderly at Sage View Care Center, volunteering at the Chamber of Commerce, the Recycling Center, the Humane Society, the YWCA, and at other non-profit organizations throughout the community. Transportation will be provided.

 

This program is not only a great confidence builder for teens, but it also benefits the community.  If you are highly enthusiastic, energetic, committed to success and looking for a fun and exciting activity, this is the one for you!

 

Thank you,
