Continuing Service Outside of School

After the meeting on May 3rd concluded, a lady came in to give us some flyers, handouts, and opportunities to participate in three different programs:

1. The NCCC- it is for those who are graduating from high school and are from the ages of 18-24; its main purpose is to provide hands-on service with activities such as: cleaning up a park, building a house, larger things like that.
2. Vista- anyone can get involved, there is no age limit, but it deals with more of the behind the scenes projects like creating a plan for a community event.
3. Americorp- Once again there is no age limit and this is pretty much just a continuation of NHS in that you do the typical types of service like tutoring and food drives.

Scanned copies of the handouts are coming soon!
