Morning
Olivia:
Yes, we have High School volunteers but they must be members of our Lacey Teen Council. If you are looking
for volunteer hours and/or leadership opportunities this is a FABULOUS
organization to belong to. Here is the description from our brochure:
Lacey
Teen Council
What
is LTC?
The Lacey Teen Council (LTC) is an advisory group of middle and high school
teens. As a member of LTC you will learn valuable skills, make new friends, and
have a lot of fun! LTC’s purpose is to be a voice for teens and to promote a
community where youth are valued and involved. LTC provides opportunities for
middle and high school teens to develop leadership skills, plan teen events,
community service projects, and serve as an advisory group. High school teens
can earn a significant amount of volunteer hours for school requirements,
college applications, and job experience. Volunteer opportunities this spring
will include the middle school activity nights, Ethnic Celebration, Daddy
Daughter Dance, and other special events. LTC applications are available at
Lacey City Hall in the Parks & Recreation Dept. LTC meets the second Monday of each month
from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at Lacey City Hall in the Community Room.
Call
us at 360-491-0857 for more information!
You can also find application online www.ci.lacey.wa.us;
go to Parks & Recreation Programs and then Lacey Teen Council. There
is more info too. Each month at the meeting,
teens are offered many events/programs with volunteer opportunities.
They sign up for the programs that interest them. This is a fun time of the
year because we have MANY Christmas events. In addition to fulfilling volunteer
requirements, you obtain work experience that can help with finding a
summer/part-time job. I have employed several LTC members for my summer camps
and programs.
Currently, we are recruiting new members because our core of
leaders graduated last year and membership is down!! We like to have a council
of 20 teens. SO, if you’re interested grab your friends and JOIN US!
ALSO, there will be applications at Timberlines Job Fair on
October 27th. Look for our HR person, Kali Nichols (she will have a
table set up).
