Leisure Services offers summer volunteer and paid opportunities; task force to create centralized sign‑up
Summary
Leisure Services said it can connect youth to year‑round and summer volunteer roles and camps; the task force agreed to make a central PDF/QR list of volunteer and paid opportunities for students to access.
Leisure Services told the task force it can provide opportunities year‑round and over the summer, including after‑school programs and specialty camps; staff suggested high schoolers could serve as camp counselors (age 18+ for paid roles) and that some volunteer roles could count for hours. "Between 70 and a 100 kids that'll be at Babe James all summer long for 10 weeks," Michelle Fitzgerald said when describing summer programming capacity and the potential for high school volunteers.
Members proposed creating a single PDF/QR listing that separates volunteer roles from paid (18+) opportunities and asked to place the list in school counseling offices and morning announcements to increase awareness. The task force assigned follow‑up to assemble site locations, volunteer tasks and contacts for the listing and to coordinate with school counselors and honor societies for recruitment.
