Volunteer Interests

As an organization aimed at public health, our success not only lies in speaking at schools and handing out flyers. We need to dedicate our time by volunteering. As discussed in the meeting today, one idea for a volunteer opportunity is at Camp Lakeside. Camp Lakeside is a YMCA run summer camp and activity center. The Director is interested in having us work on projeccts with the camp. Our first potential project would be from Oct. 8th-26th (Mondays through Fridays) helping out the camp with their pumpkin festival/gathering. The target audience is Pre-K through 2nd grade. There's roughly 400 students, so we need ideas for projects that is short, gains their attention, and is fun of course. We can also come up with ideas for handouts they can take home to practice healthy behavior. There are future programs available at the camp such as helping to build a low ropes course. If you are interested in this venture, then post a comment. Once we get a list of those who are interested, we can tabulate a list of who can go on which days and in what pair or group. The main concern now is to see who all is interested and to gather any ideas on what we could do for games and handouts. :)
